What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 5 March 2024

Pupils at Burton Pidsea Primary School are valued and cared for well. Relationships are positive and nurturing. Smiles and good humour are seen throughout the school. Pupils are happy and safe. The school is ambitious that all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), will do well. These high expectations are not being met as a result of a curriculum that requires further refinement and embedding, and as a consequence of teachers having insufficient knowledge of the subjects that they teach. Pupils are keen to learn and to do their best. Pupils behave well and show positive attitudes to their learning. They are polite, courteous and welcoming of visitors. Pupils say that rare instances of poor behaviour are dealt with swiftly by adults. Pupils benefit from undertaking leadership roles such as school councillors and playground leaders. Through these roles, they make valuable contributions to the school's improvement plans. Their views and actions impact positively on their peers. Pupils are highly inclusive and welcoming. They celebrate the differences between people. They show high levels of respect towards each other and adults. However, pupils have limited understanding of faiths and cultures represented in modern Britain.

What the school should improve

  • Staff have not had access to subject-specific training for some subjects. This prevents staff from delivering subject content to pupils as effectively as they could. The school should ensure that staff are fully trained and have the subject knowledge that they require to deliver the curriculum well.
  • Curriculum development in some subjects is at an early stage. The school has developed curriculum plans but staff have only recently begun to implement these. This means that pupils' do not know and remember the key knowledge that has been identified in these curriculum plans. The school should continue to embed the newly introduced curriculum plans so that pupils build their knowledge over time.
  • Pupils have limited opportunities to learn about different faiths, cultures and life in modern Britain. They are not prepared well for life beyond the school gates. The school should make sure that pupils gain a rich understanding of different faiths and cultures, and why they matter.
