What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 October 2023
There is a real sense of caring for one another at Bursar Primary Academy. Older pupils relish the opportunity to look after their younger friends. Younger pupils look up to their older friends as role models. Pupils are very accepting of each other. Those who have recently joined the school say that they have been made to feel very welcome. Pupils often use the phrase, 'We treat others as we would want to be treated.' Pupils enjoy warm, positive relationships with adults. They are confident to share any worries that they may have and know that adults will sort these out. As a result, pupils feel safe, and they are safe. This adds to the kind and respectful community at the school. Leaders have high expectations of what pupils can achieve academically. These expectations are equally high for pupils' behaviour. Pupils understand the system in place to encourage positive behaviours. They feel that this is fair. Pupils value the end-of-term rewards and treats that they earn. Staff teach pupils how to manage their own feelings and behaviours. Lessons are calm and purposeful. Pupils respond quickly to teachers' instructions. Pupils play well together at social times.
What the school should improve
- The monitoring of the planned curriculum is currently not fully established across all curriculum subjects. Delivery of the planned curriculum is not as effective or consistent as it could be in all subject areas. The school should ensure that leaders monitor the delivery of the curriculum across all curriculum subjects to ensure that it is as consistent as leaders have planned.
- In early years, the intended knowledge that the school wants children to learn by the time they leave Nursery is not clearly identified. Leaders and staff do not specifically identify what children should learn, and by when, or how to prepare them for the Reception class. The school should clearly identify the exact knowledge that it wants children to learn as part of the Nursery curriculum and ensure that it prepares children well for Reception.
