What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 7 June 2023

Pupils are very happy to belong to Acre Heads Primary School. There are high expectations for their learning and behaviour. Pupils enjoy an exciting curriculum. It is brought to life through a range of opportunities to experience trips to places of interest and visiting speakers. Pupils enjoy carrying out experiments in 'STEM' fortnight. They experience life in the past when visiting a replica Roman village. Pupils are inspired by these experiences. They are keen to join in conversations about their learning and listen carefully to other pupils' ideas. Relationships between pupils and adults are very positive. Whether in class or on the playground, pupils behave very well. Pupils say that bullying is very rare. They know that adults are there to help them if they have any concerns. Leaders and staff work together to provide a caring environment. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive good-quality support to access similar learning opportunities to other pupils. Visitors to school teach pupils about different faiths and beliefs. Pupils are sensitive to the needs of others. They recognise the need to respect differences.

What the school should improve

  • Systems to check what pupils know and can remember are not embedded in all subjects. Leaders do not have a comprehensive understanding of how well pupils are learning the intended curriculum in all subjects. Leaders should ensure that subject leaders are supported to use effective systems to check what pupils know, remember and can do in each subject of the curriculum.
