What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 March 2025
Bird's Bush Primary School is a joyful place where pupils feel happy and safe. Leaders have an accurate view of the school. Their determination and work to improve behaviour have been successful. Pupils now follow the school's clear behaviour expectations. They move calmly around the school. Pupils behave sensibly in lessons, following routines and engaging positively in their learning. The school has received strong support and investment from the trust, including for staff's professional development. The school has sharply focused plans to develop the quality of education it provides. It is implementing these at pace. The curriculum is now broad, ambitious and well organised and is starting to impact pupils' learning positively. However, this work is ongoing and, as such, has not had enough time to reflect improvements to published outcomes. Pupils have access to a variety of curriculum-linked visits and enjoy participating in a range of interesting clubs. They take pride in leadership roles such as being librarians, cyber pioneers or part of the junior leadership team. Attending residentials with other schools in the trust promotes a sense of community cohesion while developing pupils' understanding of how to take responsibility for themselves outside of school.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, teaching is not adapted successfully for pupils with SEND. When this is the case, pupils with SEND struggle to build their curriculum knowledge as securely as they should. The school should ensure staff have the knowledge and expertise to adapt their teaching to support pupils in achieving well.
- Some staff do not check pupils' understanding well enough. This means some pupils have gaps in their learning as ongoing misconceptions have not been addressed. The school should make sure staff use clear assessment strategies to quickly identify gaps in knowledge to help pupils learn and remember the intended curriculum securely.
