What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 November 2022
Children are at the very heart of everything at Beeston Primary School. Leaders make sure that all decisions are made in the best interests of the pupils. They are ambitious and have designed a curriculum that prepares pupils well for the next stage of their education. Children in the early years get off to the best possible start to their education. There are high expectations of behaviour and pupils meet these expectations. They go out of their way to make visitors welcome. They are courteous, polite, cheerful and hold doors open for adults. In lessons, pupils are attentive and motivated. Adults are vigilant in ensuring that they maintain this focus. Pupils report that there is no bullying and they are confident that adults would deal with any issues should they arise. Pupils describe school as a safe and happy place to come to. Leaders have a deep understanding of the community that the school serves. Their knowledge of the community informs their plans, resulting in a rich curriculum that extends beyond the academic. There is a varied and extensive extra-curricular offer that has been shaped by the views of pupils and parents. Pupils also have many opportunities to develop leadership roles and to become role models to others.
What the school should improve
- At times, the implementation of the curriculum is too focused on how to teach content rather than the content itself. As a result, pupils do not secure the vital knowledge they need to know. Leaders should ensure that pedagogy is closely matched to curriculum content.
