School remains Good Inspected 4 October 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils and parents are proud to belong to the ‘Chad Vale family’.”
- “The school works hard to promote this family ethos.”
- “It is also used to give pupils across the age ranges the opportunity to play and work together, so they get to know pupils from other age groups.”
To improve
- “However, the school does not ensure that the books that teachers read to pupils represent a wide variety of book types.”
- “However, some subject leaders have not explicitly identified the essential knowledge that all pupils should know and remember.”
- “This does not help pupils to build on what they know or to remember key ideas long term.”
