Carr Manor Community School is a unique, exceptional school.
The staff, pupils and parents are proud to be part of the Carr Manor family. Academic success is not just high; it reaches impressive new heights yearly.
The school's personal development offer is excellent.
All pupils, young and old, enjoy a wide range of opportunities. Drama, trips, residentials, pupil leaders, Carr Manor TV presenters and much more are the start of what the school offers.
The school offers a rich curriculum that enables pupils of all ages to explore subjects in depth.
For example, in the primary phase, pupils study and act in plays by William Shakespeare, such a...s 'Macbeth' and 'The Tempest'. Pupils build on these rich experiences in key stages 3 and 4, for instance when they draw on their understanding of character to unpick Jekyll and Hyde. Pupils throughout the school achieve highly.
Pupils show remarkable conduct, respect and enthusiasm for learning. Clear routines, positive reinforcement and a restorative approach help to foster a calm and structured environment.
The school is proud to offer a supportive on-site specially resourced provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
This provision is an integral part of its school community.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The curriculum has breadth and depth. Teachers promote the joy of learning, which is evident in how keen pupils are to learn.
Pupils, including those with SEND, do not want to leave lessons. They crave knowledge, and this drives their high achievement. Children start learning at the school aged two years old.
Teachers track their progress until they complete their education. This helps staff to provide skilful support as and when pupils need it. Pupils, including those with SEND, accumulate a rich knowledge as they progress through the school's curriculum.
How pupils, including those with SEND, understand the world in their early years relates closely to the various regions they study in secondary geography. The school offers a gift of learning to all pupils, which they embrace and cherish.
Reading is everyone's business at Carr Manor.
Staff and pupils, including those with SEND, enjoy reading together. Different genres and text types help pupils appreciate various cultures and historical periods. They also show the power of the written word.
Teachers provide purposeful support for pupils who find reading hard. This support helps them gain the skills and knowledge needed for accurate reading. Each subject area and lesson has a clear structure.
This structure is flexible. It allows staff to choose what works best for their pupils. It also ensures that core activities such as reading take place in lessons without fail.
In developing a strong subject vocabulary, pupils can discuss and debate various topics. They use subject-specific vocabulary and terms with accuracy.
The level of care given to individual pupils, including those with SEND, through coaching sessions, where staff 'check-in' on Mondays, 'check-up' on Wednesdays and 'check-out' on Fridays, is highly appreciated by the pupils.
Regular contact with a small group of peers and the same staff member allows all pupils to talk, listen and reflect on personal and school issues.
The school has an impressive knowledge of its community and pupils. This helps staff to teach pupils about the dangers they may face and confront as they grow up.
Pupils know how to stay safe online and in the community. The school's pupils, including those with SEND, are positive contributors to society. They fundraise for local charities and engage with the community to enhance the environment for other people.
Pupils perform in theatres that have national recognition. They represent the school in sports fixtures and take part in many more activities. Pupils possess a remarkable range of skills, express themselves clearly and show a great deal of care for others.
They care about the world and feel empowered to change it for the better due to their experiences at the school. Pupils' understanding of different cultures and faiths is extraordinarily strong. Pupils at the school speak at least one of 72 different languages.
This adds to the rich, inclusive nature of the school.
Careers education begins the moment the pupils start school. The school helps pupils by hosting careers events, assemblies and guest speakers.
These activities enable pupils to aspire highly for potential future jobs.
The school has determined what it considers is the best learning climate for Carr Manor's pupils, and the pupils support this completely. Calm, purposeful lessons are the norm.
The pupils have an unwritten contract with the school: you help me do well, and I will not let you down. Attendance is high in this school.
The school welcomes parents and the community.
Coffee mornings and early years stay-and-play sessions are well attended. The school's new community hub is a key component of its ambition to provide universal services on-site to pupils and their families.
The school is actively engaged in continuous research.
The school collaborates with other schools at local and national levels. Teachers use this information to inform positive school practices. Leaders, governors and staff demonstrate integrity and moral purpose in their work.
The school is responsible for an alternative education provision, Restore, based at CATCH. This is a long-standing arrangement. Leaders hold an excellent overview of the provision's work.
The provision for these pupils is of exceptional quality for both short-term and long-term placements. Where needed, pupils benefit from a personalised curriculum and pastoral care, which enables them to succeed. They are safe and well supported.
The staff and pupils indicated to inspectors that the school has created itself as an educational movement in the community that empowers its pupils. The inspectors saw this impressive work in place throughout the inspection.
