What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 January 2023
Pupils at Abbey Primary are very proud members of their school. They are happy here and enjoy coming to learn each day. Pupils know that staff have high expectations of them. All pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well. One pupil summed up how positively everyone feels about the school by saying: 'My journey through Abbey has been spectacular, I could not ask for a better school.' Pupils' behaviour is excellent. Their conduct around the school and in lessons is calm and orderly. Staff have high expectations for behaviour and pupils respond well to these. If low-level disruption does occur, it is dealt with quickly and does not impact the learning of others. Pupils are respectful and polite to each other and all adults. Pupils said that they feel safe and know that there are adults they can talk to if they have any worries. They trust adults to deal with any issues, such as bullying, if they arise. Pupils enjoy the many wider opportunities and experiences that leaders provide. Older pupils can be a school council member, a house captain or a reading buddy, where they support younger pupils with their reading. Pupils also attend a range of extra-curricular clubs and enjoy going on educational outings, which enrich what they have been taught in class.
What the school should improve
- In the foundation subjects, where the knowledge and skills that pupils need to learn have not yet been explicitly identified, it is less clear how the curriculum builds on prior learning and prepares pupils for what comes next in the curriculum. This means that at times, teaching does not develop and deepen pupils' learning in a well-ordered sequence. Leaders need to precisely identify the essential knowledge and skills that pupils need to learn and how this links together to provide a coherent and well- organised curriculum. Leaders should continue their work to ensure that in all subjects, teachers have the expertise and confidence to deliver the curriculum effectively.
