What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 March 2023
Alma Park Primary School is a welcoming and friendly place. Pupils arrive at school each morning happy, looking forward to the day ahead. Leaders have cultivated a kind and considerate school community where people's differences are celebrated. Positive relationships between staff and pupils and among pupils are evident throughout the school. Staff have high expectations of pupils' learning and behaviour. Classrooms are calm and harmonious. In lessons, pupils listen carefully to teachers' instructions and are eager to contribute to discussions. They talk about their work with excitement and live up to leaders' high expectations. Bullying and incidents of unpleasant behaviour are very rare. Leaders deal effectively with incidents of bullying or name-calling. This helps pupils to feel safe. Pupils take part in many extra-curricular and enrichment activities. These activities are carefully linked to the curriculum and enhance pupils' locational, historical and cultural knowledge of Levenshulme and Manchester. For example, pupils spoke with relish about visits to Nico Ditch, Jodrell Bank and the Royal Northern College of Music. Leaders' thoughtful planning of trips and visits complement pupils' learning of the curriculum.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, sometimes teachers do not use the most effective pedagogy to teach the curriculum. This means that in these subjects, pupils do not learn as well as in other subjects. Leaders should help teachers to design learning which closely reflects the intended curriculum aims so that pupils achieve well in all subjects.
- In some foundation subjects, assessments do not inform teachers how well pupils are learning because at times they do not fully match the intended curriculum. As a result, teachers do not have sufficient information to adapt future teaching to address gaps in essential knowledge. Leaders should ensure that teachers check pupils' knowledge and understanding well enough to enable them to build on prior learning when moving on to something new.
