How well does the school care for its pupils?

What Ofsted will look for…..

Inspectors will evaluate and report on: the steps taken to ensure pupils' welfare, health and safety, including the school's arrangements for child protection; the effectiveness of the school's assessment and monitoring of pupils' academic performance and monitoring of personal development and attendance; the effectiveness of the school's educational and personal support and guidance in raising pupils' achievements.

In determining their judgements, inspectors will consider the extent to which the school:· ensures the health, safety, care and protection of all pupils; has effective measures to promote good attendance and behaviour, and to eliminate oppressive behaviour including all forms of harassment and bullying; has effective arrangements for assessing pupils' attainments and progress; uses its assessment information to guide its planning; provides effective support and advice for all its pupils, informed by the monitoring of their academic progress, personal development, behaviour and attendance.
