What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 March 2023
Pupils enjoy their time at Cadland Primary. They are happy and feel safe here. They speak with great pride of the things that they do and learn here. They live up to the high aspirations their staff have of and for them. There is a buzz of achievement wherever you go. Pupils thrive here. Leaders have put this school at the centre of its community. Expectations of pupils and their families are high and a range of care and support is provided. Pupils behave well. Those who find this tricky receive effective support quickly. There is little bullying, and when it does occur staff deal with it well. Pupils understand that everyone is different and welcome these differences. They know that every pupil is important here and that the school community continually reflects on what it does and how it might improve things even further. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported well. Staff work hard to make sure pupils' academic, pastoral and extra-curricular experiences are meaningful and will help them as they progress to their next steps. They also broaden pupils' understanding of their world. Staff ensure that pupils develop pastorally, as well as academically.
What the school should improve
- Leaders' work to review the curriculum is not quite complete. This means that pupils are not always able to link prior learning to new concepts, Leaders should ensure that they complete their work to set out the component knowledge that pupils need to learn as they progress from early years to Year 6.
- Across the wider curriculum, teachers' use of assessment is not yet consistent in all subjects. As a result, pupils can be introduced to new ideas before they have secured prior learning. This can cause confusion or misconceptions. Leaders should ensure that teachers have the knowledge and confidence to check what pupils know and to adapt their planned activities to this information.
