Ofsted has warned a Wiltshire secondary school that “more work is necessary” following three consecutive inspections with disappointing results.

Pewsey Vale School was handed an Ofsted rating of ‘Requires Improvement’ following an inspection in February last year.

At the time, inspectors found “too many pupils and parents and carers are unhappy” with the quality of education provided.

This followed two other ‘Requires Improvement’ ratings in 2017 and 2019.

Because of these results, Ofsted conducted a monitoring visit at the school this June and published the results on Tuesday, September 10.

This was to report on the progress made, rather than deliver an updated grade.

Ofsted found that “leaders have made progress to improve the school, but more work is necessary for the school to become good.”

The findings from the visit detail the main areas of improvement, including significant changes to assessment of pupils, support for struggling readers, and an external review of governance.

It was also noted that the school has “begun to make arrangements to join a multi-academy trust.”

But Ofsted has identified several areas where the school must make further progress by future inspections.

Changes to assessment are not yet implemented “consistently” while more work is also required to ensure teachers cater to the needs of students with special educational needs.

Pewsey Vale School was approached for comment but at the time of writing has given no response.
