What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 June 2024
Leaders have established a curriculum that has increasing ambition for pupils. In subjects such as history, pupils learn well and produce work of good quality. They remember the most important knowledge that they need. This supports pupils well with their future study. Adults help pupils to manage their own feelings and behaviour well. Pupils understand what adults expect of their behaviour and rise to these expectations. Pupils behave well and have highly positive attitudes to their learning. Adults teach pupils how to treat everyone with respect. Pupils live this out in their relationships with each other. Pupils' attendance is very high. They enjoy school and want to attend every day. There is a real sense of community at Bacon Garth Primary School. Some pupils contribute to school life by running the healthy tuck shop. Others contribute as school councillors. These opportunities help pupils to contribute to their community and prepare for their future lives. The school has created an inclusive culture that helps pupils to feel happy and safe.
What the school should improve
- The teaching of reading is not always as effective as it should be for some older pupils. This means that these pupils do not have enough opportunities to develop their reading comprehension skills. The school should improve the teaching of reading so that all pupils make the progress that they need to be ready for the next stage of their education.
