What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 January 2023
Berewood Primary School is a happy and welcoming place. Pupils are proud to be part of the Berewood community. They come to school in the morning excited to learn. Pupils know that their teachers want the very best for them and rise to the challenge. Pupils feel safe in school. They learn about keeping safe when online and what to do if they have a concern. Pupils understand what bullying is and the different forms it can take. They confirm that bullying rarely happens and they trust the adults in school to look after them. Pupils are polite and courteous. They behave well and move sensibly around the school. Relationships between staff and pupils are warm and respectful. The school's 'Berewood Bonds' of being, 'kind and helpful, respectful and safe, resilient and hardworking' are known and understood by all pupils. These values are threaded through the wider curriculum and help pupils when making decisions and understanding any consequences. Pupils engage in many opportunities and activities that promote their personal development. The curriculum in all years is enhanced further through enrichment days, trips and visits. These experiences have been carefully planned to bring the curriculum to life and include African drumming days, palaeontology, evacuation workshops and visits to farms.
What the school should improve
- There is some variability in the teaching of phonics. Where this is the case, pupils are not supported to learn to read as well as they could be. Leaders should ensure that they continue to provide regular training and coaching so that all staff teach phonics effectively.
- Sometimes, teachers do not check pupils' understanding carefully enough. As a result, they do not identify and address pupils' misconceptions as quickly as they might. Leaders should ensure that all teachers know how to support pupils effectively to know and remember more over time.
