Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

The school has made real efforts to support pupil behaviour and well-being, creating calmer classrooms where pupils are helped to manage their emotions and re-engage with learning. New curriculum pathways are tailored to different pupils' needs, from pre-formal early years approaches to formal qualifications. The school is prioritising staff support and communication so everyone understands the direction of change.

Key Strengths

  • New curriculum pathways (Connect, Grow and Reach) are better designed to meet different pupils' needs
  • Early reading instruction is improving with increasing success
  • Behaviour policy changes have created calmer, more orderly classrooms with better pupil engagement
  • Staff well-being initiatives and improved communication are helping staff understand school changes
  • Comprehensive induction and de-escalation training means restrictive physical interventions are now rare

Areas for Improvement

  • Not all staff have strong enough curriculum knowledge to teach the new pathways effectively
  • Staff do not always identify and address pupils' misconceptions, limiting learning progress
  • Insufficient oversight of curriculum implementation across classes and pathways
  • Governance monitoring of education quality needs to strengthen to hold school accountable
  • Pupils' experiences and progress vary inconsistently across different classes

Safeguarding

Safeguarding was not explicitly graded in this monitoring inspection, but the report notes that pupils are well supervised at social times and staff have comprehensive training in de-escalation and physical intervention.

SGS Pegasus School has experienced significant leadership and staffing changes and is implementing new curriculum pathways to better meet pupils' needs. The school is making progress but needs further improvement in staff expertise and governance oversight.
