What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 June 2025
Pupils love coming to Barwic Parade. The school takes great care to make sure that every pupil is ready for learning. As a result, pupils feel happy and safe. They rise to the school's high expectations for behaviour and learning. The curriculum meets the needs of all pupils. Pupils enjoy learning about people and places beyond Selby. They thrive in the purposeful learning environments and in the beautiful outdoor area. Typically, pupils achieve well across the curriculum. Staff model the expected behaviour for pupils, showing high levels of respect and kindness. Pupils respond well to the clear routines and expectations that are set for them. They know and follow the school's three simple rules. Occasionally, bullying and inappropriate name calling happen. The school takes effective action to deal with any incidents. Pupils are confident that staff will sort things out. There is a wide range of after-school activities for pupils to enjoy. These include sports, computing, craft, cookery, choir and story time. The school goes above and beyond to support pupils' physical and emotional well-being. Many parents say how much they value the help and kindness they receive from the school.
What the school should improve
- In most subjects, pupils can remember and make connections with prior learning. This is because teachers use strategies such as mini quizzes to help pupils remember more. In a minority of subjects, these activities are not closely aligned to the curriculum. As a result, pupils are less able to recall prior learning. The school should ensure that activities to help pupils remember learning are focused more precisely on what the school wants pupils to know and remember in all curriculum subjects.
