What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 15 May 2024

Avenue Primary School is a happy and caring school where everyone is respected. Both the vision 'Expect the best to be the best' and the learning values are at the centre of the school's work. Pupils take these values to heart and spoke about how they inspired them to try hard, both in and out of school. The curriculum is broad and tailored to the needs of all pupils in the school. Teachers are careful to explain learning clearly and do their utmost to help pupils to succeed. Because of this, pupils enjoy their learning and work hard to meet the high standards of the school. All pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well. This is especially clear in pupils' strong outcomes in national reading, writing and mathematics assessments by the time that they leave the school. Pupils are courteous and polite and are keen to talk to visitors about their school. They behave well and show high levels of engagement and interest in lessons. Well-established routines help pupils to concentrate in class. Bullying is rare, but if it does happen, pupils know they can talk to any member of staff, who will quickly sort out any problems. Pupils appreciate the warm and respectful relationships that they have with staff. As one pupil put it: 'This school is built on kindness and respect.'

What the school should improve

  • In some foundation subjects, how pupils' learning will be checked is, at present, not fully defined. In these subjects, teachers do not use assessment information to identify gaps in pupils' knowledge as effectively as they could. The school should refine approaches to assessing pupils' progression through the curriculum so that pupils can be better supported to know more and remember more in these subjects.
