What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 27 February 2024

Bailey's Court Primary is a warm and welcoming school. It celebrates the variety of cultures and languages in its community at every opportunity. Pupils, including those who speak English as an additional language, benefit from the support they receive and achieve well. Pupils enjoy school, are understanding of others and develop a mature understanding of the world around them. The school has high expectations for pupils' behaviour. Pupils behave well. They are polite and well mannered. Children in the early years sustain their attention and respond enthusiastically to the routines that are in place. Pupils of all ages play well together during social times. They enjoy using the materials from the 'pod' to create games or make dens. Relationships are strong across the school. Staff know the pupils well. Pupils feel safe and say they are listened to. This helps them to have confidence to share any worries or concerns they may have. Pupils enjoy a range of clubs on offer to them such as drama, tag rugby, and skipping. They talk with pride about their roles as buddies or members of the consultation group. Pupils understand how these roles help them to set a positive example to others.

What the school should improve

  • Some subject curriculums are new. Where this is the case, assessment is not yet used well enough to check that pupils have remembered the knowledge they have been taught and to decide next steps in learning. As a result, some pupils do not build their knowledge well enough over time. The school needs to ensure that assessment is used effectively to check on what pupils know and can do, so that they are well prepared for their next stage.
