A previously ‘outstanding’ primary school has been rated ‘requires improvement’ following an Ofsted inspection.
Assessors noted that children were ‘happy and safe in school’ and praised the pupils for ‘moving around the school sensibly, demonstrating high levels of courtesy towards adults.’ They also acknowledged strong relationships in the school and that students play sociably with each other at break times and are attentive in class and participate in learning with enthusiasm.
“Most children and pupils benefit from the regular support of their teachers as they make progress in all aspects of the curriculum. This helps most children and pupils to make a smooth transition from one stage of their learning to the next.” “Added to this, there is variation in how clearly teachers understand what children and pupils with SEND need to learn next. Leaders do not make sure that teachers use effective strategies to support children and pupils with SEND well so that they can access the same curriculum as their classmates.
The report also mentions that leaders ensure that pupils are supported well in their personal development and staff feel well-supported by leaders.
