What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 September 2023
Pupils at Bollinbrook CofE Primary School embody the school's values of honesty, respect and love. Staff warmly welcome pupils into school each day. They ensure that pupils feel safe and happy. The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils understand these expectations, and they rise to them. Typically, most pupils achieve well across a range of subjects. Pupils, including children in the early years, engage fully in their lessons. Pupils conduct themselves well around the school. Disruption to pupils' learning and to school life is rare. Should any poor behaviour happen, pupils trust adults to deal with it quickly so that it does not happen again. Pupils are offered a range of opportunities that successfully promote their wider personal development. These activities include trips, visiting speakers and clubs such as parkour and hockey. The school takes advantage of its extensive grounds to enable pupils to learn outdoors. Pupils benefit from the expertise in music that staff have. Pupils enjoy opportunities to learn to play instruments and to perform. Pupils are proud to be awarded positions of responsibility, such as acting as prefects, monitors and librarians. They carry out these roles diligently.
What the school should improve
- Some parents are concerned about how well the school communicates with them. This means that some parents do not feel as equipped as they should to assist their children with their learning. The school should improve its communication with parents to help them to better support their child's education.
- The PSHE programme does not cover aspects of fundamental British values in sufficient depth. As a result, some pupils do not have an age-appropriate understanding of the importance of these values in modern British society. The school should ensure that its PSHE curriculum enhances pupils' knowledge and understanding of all aspects of fundamental British values.
