Inspection summary
Latest inspection · January 2026
Published March 2026
Shakespeare Junior School is a nurturing environment where pupils feel safe and demonstrate positive behavior and attitudes. While the school meets expected standards in areas like personal development and inclusion, it needs attention in achievement, curriculum, and leadership to ensure all pupils, particularly those who are disadvantaged, make consistent progress.
Strengths
What inspectors noted positively.
- Pupils display respectful manners and supportive behavior toward one another.
- The school has a positive, inclusive culture with strategic oversight for vulnerable pupils.
- Pupils with education, health and care plans make positive progress from their starting points.
Things parents should investigate
Neutral topics you may wish to explore.
- Variability in the quality of teaching across different year groups and subjects.
- Consistency in how staff check for pupil understanding and address gaps in foundational knowledge.
- The slower pace of school improvement following recent staffing changes.
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with an open culture where concerns are actively identified, managed, and acted upon to keep pupils safe.
Leadership
Leaders have an accurate understanding of school priorities, but recent improvements to the curriculum and staff training are in early stages and have been impacted by staffing changes.
