Good Inspected 29 June 2022
Strengths
- “Henley Bank is an inclusive school that adopts the motto ‘We are all on the same mountain, just a different journey to the top’.”
- “Pupils are taught to celebrate difference and live out the school values, which include ambition and respect.”
- “This develops their sense of community and belonging.”
To improve
- “However, leaders do not have a sharp enough focus on ensuring that pupils at the early stages of reading receive sufficient support to catch up.”
- “The teaching of phonics is not frequent or detailed enough to identify specific knowledge gaps and remedy them.”
- “There are a range of extra-curricular clubs available for pupils to attend, but a significant number of pupils, particularly pupils with SEND and disadvantaged pupils, currently choose not to participate in these regularly.”
