The Wainfleet Magdalen Church of England/ Methodist School continues to be a good school. 

 

• Leaders have high expectations of pupils’ behaviour.
• Pupils feel safe and happy at this school.
• Leaders have created a culture in which pupils respect one another and those who may be different from themselves.
• The school values are central to pupils’ experience of daily school life.
• Pupils trust that staff will deal with any instances of poor behaviour or rare instances of bullying.
• Leaders have designed an ambitious curriculum.
• The changes to the curriculum since COVID are having a positive impact on the work that pupils produce and the knowledge they can recall and apply.
• Teachers teach important knowledge clearly and in a manner which is accessible for all pupils.
• Staff help children and pupils to develop quickly their ability to read words accurately.
• The work in pupils’ books shows that they develop the sophistication of their vocabulary over time.
• Teachers know pupils well. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) have their needs promptly identified. They follow the same curriculum as their peers.

Our area for improvement: 

• Leaders should ensure that teachers understand how best to recognise and resolve pupils’ misconceptions as they arise.

Parent View gives you the chance to tell us what you think about your child’s school.

Parent View asks for your opinion on 14 aspects of your child’s school, from the quality of teaching, to dealing with bullying and poor behaviour. If your child is at a boarding or a residential special school, it also asks for your opinion on five aspects of your child’s boarding or welfare. We will use the information you provide when making decisions about which schools to inspect, and when.

When inspecting education in independent schools, we recommend when inspection should take place but inspect at the request of the DfE.
