Beaumont Community Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 26 March 2024

Everyone is valued at Beaumont Community Primary School. Pupils attend happily, safely and with pride. Many pupils join at different points of the school year. Whenever they join, each new pupil is supported quickly. New pupils are readily welcomed into this highly inclusive school. Children in early years thrive. They fully understand the routines of school and take every opportunity to learn from a well-considered curriculum that supports them to do their best. As a result, children in early years make excellent progress throughout the curriculum. This prepares them very well for Year 1. Pupils' social and emotional well-being are priorities. Pupils who need support receive this from well-trained staff. Pupils cope well with change and know how to manage their feelings. Overall, this contributes towards everyone caring for and looking out for each other. Most pupils meet the school's behaviour expectations. They value learning and appreciate the improvements in behaviour. These allow them to learn with little disruption. Pupils benefit from enrichment beyond the curriculum. Trips are thoughtfully planned to enhance their school experience. Pupils speak positively about the new experiences they enjoy. These develop their independence and broaden their horizons beyond the local community.

What the school should improve

• In a few areas, there is inconsistency in the way the curriculum is taught. This means some pupils' learning is not as successful as it should be. The school should further develop its teaching expectations of the curriculum content across the curriculum. This will mean all pupils learn to build on what they learn and, consequently, achieve consistently well across the curriculum.
• The strategies to manage behaviour are newly implemented. On occasion, some staff do not follow the school's behaviour policy with enough consistency. This means, in some classes, learning is slowed down by the odd occurrence of low- level disruption. The school should continue to develop its behaviour systems to ensure a clear and consistent approach across all classes. This will mean learning can proceed without disruption across the whole school.
