What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 15 June 2022
Berkeley Primary School is a friendly and welcoming place to learn. The school's values, 'Be kind, be confident, be you', are woven through all that the school does. The majority of parents are happy with the provision that their children receive. Some comments to inspectors included 'My child thrives here' and 'the school goes above and beyond'. Pupils are extremely polite and kind. They listen intently and become immersed in their learning because they are curious. For example, children in the early years make ice creams and observe that the sun makes them melt. Pupils enjoy choosing books from 'Bertie' the library bus and den building in the school grounds. Pupils chat enthusiastically and confidently about their work. Pupils consistently meet adults' high expectations and behave impeccably in and out of the classroom. Pastoral provision is exceptionally strong. Adults form strong partnerships with pupils. Pupils feel safe and well cared for. They trust adults to swiftly sort out any problems that might arise. Bullying is rare. The well-planned curriculum supports pupils to be caring, thoughtful citizens. For example, pupils reflect on, and discuss, people who are different to them. Pupils raise funds for good causes and contribute items for the food bank.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, sequences of learning do not precisely identify the key knowledge pupils must learn. As a result, pupils do not routinely develop the deep knowledge they need to prepare them for what comes next. Leaders must identify and sequence the key knowledge they expect pupils to remember in these subjects, so that pupils know more and remember more.
- In some foundation subjects, assessment is not used well enough to check how well pupils are building on previous knowledge. Where this is the case, pupils have gaps in their knowledge. Leaders must sharpen the use of assessment, so that they can assure themselves that pupils are gaining the deep knowledge they need.
