What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 28 June 2022

You are greeted with a smile from staff and pupils when you step into Burstwick Community Primary School. This is a school where values are woven into everything. When pupils first arrive in the early years, they are supported and encouraged to be kind-hearted, curious and respectful. One pupil told an inspector, 'this school is amazing, everyone is kind'. Pupils do not worry about bullying. On the rare occasions it does happen, pupils feel supported. They know staff are quick to act and help. Sanctions and rewards linked to pupils' behaviour are well understood by pupils and consistently applied by staff. The vast majority of pupils behave in a calm and respectful manner. Staff take their safeguarding responsibilities seriously. They do all they can to ensure that pupils are safe and cared for effectively. Staff check in with pupils in daily circle times to see how pupils feel and discuss any worries they may have. If concerns are raised in these sessions, staff respond swiftly to help pupils. There are a variety of extra opportunities to stimulate and meet the interests of pupils. These range from sporting activities to science, technology, engineering and mathematics trips where pupils meet local employers and work with pupils from other schools.

What the school should improve

  • In a very few instances, the information outlined in EHC plans is not linked closely enough to the support plans that staff are given. This means staff may not be able to plan appropriately to meet the needs of pupils. Leaders should ensure that the pupil support plans teachers receive are accurately linked to the EHC plans for each pupil. This will help support teachers to know how best to support children with their education.
  • Curriculum plans across the school identify the important knowledge pupils should know inside out. However, leaders are at different stages of reviewing and amending plans to ensure that they are as effective as they can be. Curriculum leaders should ensure that plans are reviewed and implemented swiftly so that appropriate guidance and training can be given to staff, ensuring any amendments to the curriculum are understood and implemented effectively.
