What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 July 2024
Pupils at Bubwith Community Primary School are happy. The school has high expectations for what pupils learn. This is realised and reflected in the school's national tests and assessments. Pupils behave well in lessons and across the school. At breaktimes, pupils get on well together. Pupils know that the adults in the school will help them if they have any worries. Pupils enjoy opportunities to attend an interesting range of after-school clubs. These include a range of sports clubs such as rounders, badminton and football. Pupils value these opportunities as they allow them to develop their talents and interests. Pupils get the opportunity to discuss and debate on a weekly basis. This includes during reading lessons, where pupils share different points of view. This supports pupils to consider how others feel and think. They use this information well to determine how they can be considerate and make informed decisions. The curriculum is supplemented with an array of enrichment experiences. This includes a residential trip to an outdoor activity centre. This supports pupils' teamwork skills. Pupils are safe and are taught how to keep themselves safe. This includes road safety, fire safety and water safety.
What the school should improve
- Some activities in the outdoor learning environment in early years are not tightly focused on what children need to learn next. As a result, some children do not learn as much as they could. The school should ensure that learning activities outside support children to learn the intended curriculum in preparation for key stage 1.
- Some older pupils struggle to recall what they have been taught about different religions. As a result, some pupils are not as prepared for life in modern Britain as they could be. The school should ensure that teachers check that pupils have learned and remembered what they have been taught about different religions.
- The wider curriculum does not consistently develop pupils' skills and knowledge over time. As a result, pupils cannot build their understanding and have gaps in their knowledge. The school needs to implement the new curriculum carefully to ensure that any gaps in pupils' subject knowledge are addressed.
