What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 26 November 2024

Burnt Tree Primary School is a vibrant and nurturing school. The motto of 'where everyone matters' underpins everything the school does. Many parents and carers would recommend the school to others. Parents value the support the school provides to their children. They described the school as a welcoming place where staff genuinely care about the pupils. Leaders have created a culture of high expectations for pupils' achievement. Pupils meet these expectations. Published outcomes are high. Pupils learn how to keep themselves safe in the school, online and in their community. They talk about trusted adults they can go to if they have any worries. The school's high expectations of behaviour are met by pupils who support each other with respect, kindness and inclusivity. Pupils say that they are safe. They play well with each other and have positive and warm relationships with staff. Pupils benefit from various roles and responsibilities. These include acting as school councillors, science ambassadors and well-being leaders. Pupils appreciate their involvement in projects in the local community, such as raising money for charities and donating to a food bank. These endeavours contribute to pupils' increasing understanding of what it means to be a positive and active citizen.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, some staff do not use assessment to inform their teaching or to provide timely support for pupils to progress through the planned curriculum. Consequently, not all pupils learn as well as they could. The school should ensure that, in these subjects, there are suitable approaches to assessment that help pupils to know and remember more.
  • Attendance for some pupils is too low, including those who are disadvantaged. This means some pupils miss out on essential learning over time or have gaps in their learning. The school should draw on the most up-to-date guidance and continue to work with families and other stakeholders to remove barriers to regular attendance.
