Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

This school is a welcoming and inclusive place where pupils feel safe and supported. Staff provide high-quality pastoral support, with a dedicated space called 'The House' where pupils can share their concerns. The school has recently appointed strong new leaders who are rapidly improving teaching and support for all pupils, especially those with additional needs.

Key Strengths

  • Strong safeguarding culture where pupils feel safe and concerns are actively managed
  • Well-organised curriculum with good teaching of reading, writing and mathematics
  • Excellent support for pupils with SEND and disadvantaged pupils through a cohesive inclusion approach
  • High-quality early years provision with engaging learning environments
  • Positive behaviour and conduct across the school with swift, skilful staff responses

Areas for Improvement

  • Pupil achievement in national tests has declined and remains below national average
  • Attendance rates are below national average with increasing persistent absence
  • Some pupils have not developed secure letter formation, handwriting and early reading skills
  • New leadership strategies are showing promise but full impact not yet reflected in published outcomes

Safeguarding

Safeguarding standards are met - the school has created an open culture where safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and pupils feel safe.

Extracurricular Activities

Football team visits, local community rubbish clean-up campaign, school parliament work with local charities, visits to local places of worship and cultural sites

Oasis Academy Nunsthorpe is a welcoming school that has recently undergone significant leadership changes and is taking effective action to improve standards. While the school provides a safe, inclusive environment with strong pastoral support, it is working to address declining pupil achievement and attendance.
