What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 7 February 2023

Pupils thrive at this ambitious school. Cashes Green Primary is a welcoming, inclusive school where everyone is cherished. Pupils love coming to school and benefit from warm relationships with staff. Pupils are eager to learn new things every day alongside their friends. Leaders believe deeply in their vision that 'care and support helps everyone succeed'. Pupils who may struggle are treated with understanding and as an individual. Leaders are determined that all pupils leave as resilient learners who develop a love of learning for life. Pupils do not worry about bullying. They are reassured that staff will help them sort out any issues if they occur. Pastoral support and mental health support are strengths of the school. As a result, pupils feel safe and secure. Leaders are keen for pupils to learn about life beyond their own community. They are mindful of cost not being a barrier to participation. Parents appreciate the broad range of enriching activities, such as visiting the seaside or the Houses of Parliament. Pupils benefit from experiences and clubs linked to their learning and interests. These events also support pupils' spiritual and cultural development well.

What the school should improve

  • In some foundation subjects, leaders have not yet precisely selected the knowledge they want pupils to know and use. This means that teachers do not always know the most important things to teach and check. Leaders should refine the curriculum so that the content and sequencing of the essential knowledge is clear and coherent in all subjects.
