What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 November 2022
Acorns Primary is a happy and caring school where pupils love to learn. Leaders have high expectations. They are ambitious for what pupils can achieve. Pupils are proud of their school and happy that 'everybody knows everybody here'. The school is very much part of the local community. Parents and carers, pupils, staff and governors agree that pupils are safe and well cared for. Staff are proud and happy to work at this school. Parents feel listened to and included. They are very supportive of the school, and praise staff for how much help they give pupils. Leaders and teachers have high expectations of what pupils can achieve. This results in pupils doing well and producing high-quality work. Pupils become independent, confident learners at Acorns Primary School. Pupils' positive behaviour is an absolute strength at this school. Pupils know what bullying is and say that adults sort out any problems. When poor behaviour happens, teachers help pupils to understand and put their behaviour right.
What the school should improve
- The books that younger pupils read do not always match the sounds they know. This means that they do not develop reading fluency as quickly as they could. Leaders need to ensure that the reading assessments teachers carry out are used more effectively, to ensure that books are well matched to the sounds pupils are learning.
