SGS Pegasus School

Overview

The report states that pupils experience "variability in the quality of education and provision" and that the new curriculum is not yet adapted sufficiently well for all subjects. While positive relationships help pupils feel safe and most attend regularly, the school acknowledges there is "more to do to ensure all pupils flourish and attain the best outcomes."

Strengths

• "Positive relationships exist between staff and pupils," helping them feel safe and supported in building friendships.
• The careers programme is "well developed," with carefully planned opportunities preparing pupils for adulthood and work.
• Staff are benefiting from "high-quality training" and are working to implement necessary changes to improve education quality.
• "Carefully selected songs, rhymes and books" are used to nurture a love of reading, with a new phonics programme introduced to address previous gaps.
• Sixth-form students successfully transition to college or employment, and older pupils enjoy work experience and preparation for adulthood.

Areas to improve

• The trust must support staff to develop secure knowledge of the revised curriculum so they can "implement it effectively" and check pupils’ knowledge.
• The trust needs to ensure short-term targets are precise enough so that the curriculum designed from them is as effective as possible.
• The school must analyse behaviour incident data to identify appropriate support for groups of pupils and maintain high expectations.
• The trust needs to support staff well-being and encourage them to access the trust’s well-being provision.

Safeguarding

The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
