Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

Malorees has strong reading throughout the school where pupils genuinely enjoy books. Pupils finish Key Stage 2 with well above average results in reading, maths and spelling. The school creates a welcoming environment that celebrates different cultures and backgrounds.

Key Strengths

  • Reading is strong with pupils enjoying books and showing good comprehension
  • Pupils' attainment at end of Key Stage 2 is well above average in reading, mathematics, and grammar, punctuation and spelling
  • The school effectively promotes pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development
  • School leadership is now more focused on pupil progress and teaching quality is starting to improve

Areas for Improvement

  • Quality of teaching is inconsistent across year groups, particularly in writing and mathematics
  • Teachers' marking does not clearly show pupils how to improve their work
  • The most-able pupils are not challenged enough to reach higher levels
  • Behaviour and attendance are not improving quickly enough
  • Disadvantaged pupils' achievement gap is closing too slowly

Safeguarding

Pupils are kept safe in school and feel safe there, with most parents agreeing that safeguarding is effective.

Malorees Junior School requires improvement after previously being rated outstanding. The school has declined in teaching quality and pupil achievement, with leadership failing to ensure consistent progress across all year groups.
