What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 May 2024
Butt's Primary School is happy and inclusive. The school's motto of 'one school, one community' is at the centre of all the school does. Pupils are proud of their community promise of 'give and it will be given to you'. Relationships between pupils and staff are warm and positive. Pupils know who to talk to if they are worried. As a result, pupils feel safe, valued and a sense of belonging. The school's values of being kind, fair, safe and ready to learn are the guiding principles for everyone. Pupils know these and understand the importance of treating others with equity. Pupils behave very well in lessons and in social times. Pupils enjoy their lessons and talk about their learning and achievements with pride. The school has high expectations of what pupils can achieve. The curriculum is ambitious for all, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Carefully tailored support and effective teaching ensure that pupils are achieving well. The school provides a rich range of educational visits and clubs that extend learning. Activities include sports clubs, learning to play the ukulele and gardening club. Pupils are eager to take on positions of responsibility as subject ambassadors. This helps them to develop confidence and leadership skills.
What the school should improve
- Not all subjects have learning sequences that clearly identify the explicit knowledge that the school expects staff to teach and pupils to know and remember. As a result, pupils do not develop new knowledge equally well across all subjects. The school should continue refining the curriculum so that the precise knowledge pupils need to learn from the early years to Year 6 is identified in each subject.
