Camp Hill Education

Overview: Camp Hill Education meets all of the independent school standards checked during this inspection. The school has made significant improvements since the previous inspection, with a determined, precise and positive focus on curriculum, teaching and assessment. The school's leadership and oversight of teaching have been strengthened, and staff have received detailed, pertinent and relevant training.

Strengths:

• The school has prioritised the leadership and oversight of teaching, strengthening the teaching team and providing high-quality training for staff.
• The curriculum and assessment policies are implemented well, and staff use detailed and comprehensive information to inform their teaching.
• The school uses its knowledge of each pupil to bring about improvements in attendance, which supports pupils' progress.
• Pupils themselves recognise and speak of the difference that the school is making to them as individuals and as learners, and are involved in the decision-making process.

Areas to improve:

The school recognises that there is more to do to ensure that it raises the profile and standards of evaluation areas across the inspection toolkit. They are in the process of using external support and internal knowledge and expertise to review and refine the action plan further to ensure they continue to meet the standards and provide a quality education to and for the pupils.

Safeguarding: The school's safeguarding arrangements, including the single central record of pre-employment checks, are met, and the school's safeguarding policy is available to parents and carers.
