What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 December 2022
Calverley Parkside Primary School is a school transformed. Pupils enjoy coming to school. Leaders have high expectations for pupils' learning. They have designed curriculums that are ambitious. For example, in geography, pupils learn about the formation of different types of volcano, with a focus on using accurate vocabulary. Through the combination of skilled teaching and hard work, pupils, including those with additional needs, achieve highly. Relationships between pupils are very positive. Pupils behave well in, and outside lessons. Year 6 pupils take their role as 'lunchtime buddies' to younger pupils very seriously. Pupils across school talk about 'see something, say something', symbolising everyone's responsibility to report any bullying they witness. Bullying is very rare but, when it does occur, it is resolved very effectively. Pupils are supported to develop as rounded individuals. They are polite and courteous. They speak with calm confidence. Pupils celebrate differences between themselves and others. As one pupil noted: 'We don't accept those who are different to us in our school community, we welcome them into it.' Leaders have rebuilt the trust of the community after some difficult times. Parents and carers value the fact that they can talk to leaders at the start or end of the school day about any concerns they may have. Parents are unanimous in saying they would recommend the school to others.
What the school should improve
- In some lessons, teachers do not always accurately identify the gaps in pupils' pre-existing knowledge. As a result, teaching does not always build on what pupils securely know, making new learning harder. Leaders should ensure that teachers consistently and effectively identify gaps in pupils' knowledge so that new learning can build on it.
- Some pupils do not attend school regularly and do not have valid reasons for their absence. These pupils cannot take full advantage of the good quality of education that the school offers. Leaders should redouble their efforts to work with these pupils and their families to ensure that pupils attend school regularly.
