What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 20 February 2024
Abbey Gates Primary School is a caring and inclusive school. Pupils enjoy learning here. A typical comment from pupils is that the school is 'amazing'. Many parents hold similar positive views. The school has high expectations of what pupils can achieve and how they should conduct themselves. Most pupils meet these expectations consistently well. Pupils are polite and well-mannered. There are positive relationships between pupils and staff. At playtimes, there are many well-organised activities for pupils to do. The school has ensured that playtimes develop pupils' social skills. This means pupils get along well together and enjoy being active. They enjoy taking part in 'take 5' after lunchtime, where they use breathing techniques to relax and prepare themselves for learning. Pupils feel safe in school. They know who they can talk to if they are worried about anything. Pupils have many opportunities to contribute to the life of the school. They are proud to take part in these. Some pupils are elected to the pupil parliament. Some pupils are play buddies, subject ambassadors and part of the eco-committee. Pupils also enjoy being part of the choir and representing the school in sporting competitions.
What the school should improve
- On occasions, some teachers do not use the teaching methods that the school has chosen well enough. When this occurs, teachers' activity choices and resources do not always support all pupils' learning. This means sometimes, some pupils do not learn as well as they could. The school should ensure that all teachers use resources and activities that support all pupils in learning the curriculum well.
- Teachers do not always adapt the curriculum well for some pupils with SEND. This means some pupils with SEND do not always learn as well as they could. The school is aware of this and has plans in place to address this issue. The school should ensure that teachers get the information and training they need to support all pupils with SEND well.
