What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 19 November 2024

Alsagers Bank Primary Academy is a happy and welcoming school where all pupils work hard to achieve their best. The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils achieve well and enjoy a broad range of subjects and wider opportunities. Pupils are highly motivated and have very positive attitudes towards their learning. They build positive relationships with staff and each other. This creates a culture of care and mutual respect. The school has high expectations of pupils' behaviour and conduct. This helps pupils to feel happy and safe at school. Pupils are confident staff will help them with any worries or concerns. Pupils say bullying is rare, and staff 'sort out things very quickly'. Any pupils who need help in managing their emotions are well supported by the caring nurture team. Through a wide variety of pupil leadership roles, pupils are able to make a positive contribution to their school and local community. For example, 'Eco-Leaders' collect litter around the school and local area. They promote recycling and plant trees and flowers to 'make the air cleaner'.

What the school should improve

  • A minority of pupils have not yet secured prior learning or vocabulary in the foundation subjects. This means they find it difficult to recall the key knowledge they need for new learning to take place. The school should support pupils to learn this content securely to help them progress through the wider curriculum as successfully as they do in English and mathematics.
