What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 February 2023
Everyone at Calshot Primary School is 'aiming high' in all aspects of school life. Staff, pupils and parents share leaders' high expectations. Pupils are positive about their learning and work hard in their lessons. Leaders make sure that teachers know what to teach and pupils enjoy what they learn. However, in some subjects, the link between what children learn in the early years and how this is built on in key stage 1 is not clearly set out. Pupils behave well. They appreciate that staff share the reasons why they are proud of their good behaviour. Positive relationships help pupils to feel safe at school. Adults help pupils to sort any problems out, including bullying, quickly and fairly. Leaders provide a range of opportunities for pupils to take an active role in school life. Pupils enjoy these roles, such as eco-monitors, and recognise the responsibility these roles bring. Pupils know that these responsibilities will support them to develop the skills they will need to become positive citizens in modern Britain.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, leaders do not have a secure understanding of how to develop their subject from the early years. This means that they do not know how the knowledge and skills from the early years support pupils to make progress as they move into Year 1 and beyond. Leaders should ensure that key knowledge and skills are carefully thought through from the early years to key stage 1
- Some staff do not provide sufficient opportunities for pupils at the earliest stages of learning to read to practise using the reading skills they are taught. This means that some pupils are not developing the fluency and confidence in reading quickly enough. Leaders should ensure that the additional reading support for pupils is more effective in quickly developing pupils' reading.
