What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 January 2023
Pupils talk about Adderley Primary School with pride. It is a vibrant and welcoming school. Pupils say that 'we have a voice here'. They know that staff listen to their opinions and value their ideas. Leaders have high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils meet these expectations by working hard and behaving well. Pupils are happy. They have warm, respectful relationships with staff and are caring towards each other. Adults deal with bullying effectively and pupils feel safe. Pupils understand about their rights and their responsibilities to each other. They are clear that everyone is equal. Pupils have many meaningful opportunities to become good citizens. They become ambassadors, help to run the enterprise hub or become junior community support officers. In the wider community, pupils helped to redesign the local park and contribute to local food banks. Pupils attend a wide range of clubs, including sign language, basketball, computing and reading. These provide them with experiences that broaden their interests. However, despite the work done by leaders to improve attendance, some pupils do not attend school regularly enough.
What the school should improve
- The specific subject knowledge and vocabulary that leaders expect pupils to learn in design technology is not yet defined clearly. This means that pupils do not build on their knowledge and skills as well as they might. Leaders should ensure that the curriculum is well planned in all subjects so teachers are able to know how to support pupils to build their knowledge systematically.
- Leaders have not ensured that all staff have the skills they need to assess the additional needs of pupils with SEND effectively. As a result, some of these pupils' needs are not fully met. Leaders should ensure that all staff are well trained to assess, plan for and address the needs of all pupils with SEND.
- Too many pupils are regularly absent for school. This means that they are not able to learn as well as they could or benefit from the wider opportunities provided by the school. Leaders should continue to work with families to ensure that these pupils attend school more regularly.
