School ‘requires improvement’ after first academy inspection

A school has been downgraded to ‘requires improvement’ after its first full Ofsted inspection since becoming an academy. All Saints’ Roman Catholic High School in Rawtenstall received a ‘requires improvement’ rating, following an inspection on April 30 and May 1.

They also acknowledged an improvement in students’ behaviour, but said some staff do not set clear expectations for pupils’ behaviour that the school’s policy requires and school policy should be enacted consistently so it has the intended positive impact. The report continues: “The school is increasingly ambitious for pupils’ achievement. It has acted to strengthen the curriculum in many areas to improve pupils’ learning.

Since the last inspection in 2022, there have been many changes to the leadership of the school, including a newly appointed headteacher and chair of governors. Inspectors describe the school and multi-academy trust as ‘united’ in their vision to improve the school. “In many subjects, the school has thought about the knowledge that is most important for pupils to learn. However, in some subjects, work is at an early stage of development.
