What This School Does Well
The school welcomes pupils in a caring, loving way where children feel safe and supported. Early years children get an excellent start with exciting activities and skilled adults. The school has strong leadership committed to improvement and works hard to inspire a love of reading through quality texts and library resources.
Key Strengths
- Early years provision is good with children well-supported and making positive progress
- Leadership team is working resolutely to improve the school and is supported well by governors and the trust
- Pupils feel safe and confident; the school has effective safeguarding arrangements in place
- Strong commitment to fostering a love of reading through high-quality texts and library visits
- Special educational needs are identified correctly and pupils with SEND receive appropriate support
Areas for Improvement
- Curriculum implementation is inconsistent - most pupils do not develop deep knowledge because teaching is not effective enough
- Teachers do not check pupils' learning carefully enough, so gaps in knowledge are not identified or addressed
- Disruptive behaviour in lessons persists and distracts pupils from learning
- Attendance is too low for many pupils, causing them to miss vital learning
- Pupils' understanding of British values and other religions is weak, limiting preparation for life in modern Britain
Safeguarding
Safeguarding arrangements are effective with an open and positive culture that puts pupils' interests first.
Extracurricular Activities
Breakfast club, library visits, school trips and visits to broaden pupils' lived experiences
Rose Hill Primary School is a welcoming place where pupils feel safe and enjoy learning, but the school requires improvement because the curriculum is not being delivered effectively and pupils are not achieving well in national outcomes.
