What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 March 2022
Beacon Primary Academy is a thriving school. Pupils are happy and enjoy their learning. They told inspectors, 'The staff are really friendly, and if you get stuck, they help you.' Pupils say that they feel safe. They are proud of their school. Leaders promote pupils' personal and academic development. Staff have very high expectations of pupils. Pupils are highly motivated. They are aspirational. They like to work hard and achieve. Pupils enjoy making a positive contribution to the life of the school as school councillors and mini police officers. They like it when they are chosen to receive gold awards for their efforts. Pupils behave very well. They are polite and respectful. Pupils really care for each other. They know that staff quickly sort out any problems and that bullying is not tolerated. Pupils have a very clear understanding of equality. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the school. One parent, typical of many, said of the staff, 'They really are more of a big family than a school. Nothing is too much, and they go the extra mile. I do recommend this school to anyone and everyone!'. Parents like that the school staff are so welcoming.
What the school should improve
- Leaders have developed a coherently planned and well-sequenced curriculum. On occasions, there are inconsistencies in what pupils can recall about their learning. For example, some pupils in history and religious education are unable to remember key knowledge set out in the school's curriculum thinking. Other pupils are not always clear what they have learned about fundamental British values. Leaders are aware of this and are already exploring possible reasons why some pupils find it difficult to recall what they have learned. Leaders should ensure that all pupils, including those with SEND, know more and remember more of the school's curriculum thinking, including the curriculum for pupils' personal development.
