What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 June 2022
The pupils at Adelaide Primary School are a credit to their school community. Staff wholeheartedly embrace the challenges presented by the school's unique and diverse population. Staff help to ensure every pupil develops their character to become a successful citizen. Pupils know and demonstrate the school's key drivers of effort, equality and respect. One pupil said, 'Everyone is tolerant, so we feel safe and comfortable with our own beliefs.' Behaviour is exemplary. Pupils focus and concentrate in lessons, during playtime and at breakfast club. Pupils respond swiftly to instructions. Without being prompted, pupils hold doors open and show respect to each other, staff and visitors. Pupils can articulate the school's behaviour policy and know the consequences of poor behaviour. Pupils know what bullying is and say an adult will help them if they tell them it is happening. Adults enact the whole school behaviour management plan. For example, using the thumbs up 'active listening' prompt to gain pupils' attention. Each class has an emotional barometer so pupils can assess their well-being. The well- being leader checks these daily and ensures pupils who have identified as feeling low or sad have time to talk to an adult. Pupils can also write down any concerns and leave them with the class worry monster. These are then followed up by the teacher. As a result, pupils feel safe, cared for and happy.
What the school should improve
- Staff are getting to know the structure of a new phonics scheme recently introduced by leaders. All staff have received training, but some have not yet had an opportunity to teach, with fidelity, the new scheme. Leaders should ensure consistency of practice as staff embed the new scheme.
- Leaders have identified too much 'sticky knowledge' they want pupils to retain at the end of some units of work. This means there are small inconsistencies in what is being emphasised by teachers as important knowledge. Leaders have recognised they need to refine the 'sticky knowledge' to help ensure pupils are securing the right essential knowledge to build on over time.
