What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 November 2023
Adults at Carlton Primary school have high expectations of what pupils are expected to learn across the curriculum. Pupils are happy. They discuss their learning well in subjects such as design and technology, explaining how wheels and axles turn in the animal cars they made. Adults consistently use the behaviour rules around the school. Pupils like to keep their 'Good to be Gold' time, so they behave well. A reward from a teacher confirms pupils are upholding the school values. Pupils are kind and ready to learn. They know how to stay safe. There is a clear understanding of bullying, and pupils say that if it happens, teachers resolve it. Pupils understand how to stay healthy, active and have a healthy mind. They can tell you the best healthy foods to eat. After lunch, pupils like to walk the daily mile. Pupils who are well-being champions check up on their peers at playtimes and lunchtimes. They make sure everyone feels well. A pupil parliament leads the school council, so all pupils experience voting. Pupils know that the government makes important laws and that the police reinforce those laws. Pupils show tolerance of others who may be different. All members of the school community embrace equality.
What the school should improve
- The school does not have a system in place that clearly shows how the small steps of the curriculum progress across year groups in some foundation subjects. Teachers cannot easily see the knowledge that comes before and after their year group. Leaders need to further develop the system they have started in some subjects that shows more clearly how these steps progress across year groups.
- In some foundation subjects, such as history, curriculum leaders have not had enough subject-specific training to help them enhance how their subject is taught. This means that teachers do not have a developed enough understanding of the specifics for these subjects. The school needs to further develop the training requirements of these leaders.
