Bonneygrove Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 15 June 2022

Pupils at Bonneygrove are proud of their school and enjoy learning. They play well together and there are many opportunities provided for them to learn outdoors. Pupils develop their social skills and their understanding of nature. Members of the pupil parliament talk confidently about how they have chosen ways to further improve the school environment. Pupils benefit from many carefully planned experiences which enhance the curriculum. For example, pupils enjoy the many visitors to the school, staying overnight in the school acting as an evacuee in World War Two, or meeting a 'dinosaur'. Pupils behave well. The learning environment is calm and focused. Pupils manage their own belongings well to make sure they have the appropriate resources they need for their learning. Children learn the behaviour routines well from the start of Reception. Older pupils know what is expected of them. They listen and respond well to adults. Where there is bullying, which is rare, pupils are confident that adults will listen and sort out any problems quickly. Pupils who require additional support for social and emotional needs are provided for effectively.

What the school should improve

• There are some occasions when teachers are not clear in their explanations as to what they want pupils to learn. When this is the case, pupils do not learn as well as they could. Leaders need to ensure that teachers present information clearly, so pupils understand precisely what they are learning and can achieve.
