What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 May 2022
The school has a caring, inclusive ethos. There are strong relationships between pupils and staff. Pupils feel happy and safe in school. Leaders and teachers have high expectations of pupils. Pupils have positive attitudes to their learning and behave well. They are polite and thoughtful. Pupils say that bullying is not an issue. If they have a problem, they know what to do and are confident staff would deal with it. Parents speak positively about the school and how well it supports pupils. Pupil voice matters at Castle Batch Primary School Academy. Leaders plan opportunities for pupils to make a difference to the school and feel like responsible citizens. Leaders worked with pupils to plan changes to how activities are organised at playtimes. Pupils told inspectors this made a difference, and they value this. Leaders give pupils positive role models to inspire them. Sports coaches and a Paralympic athlete supported a recent sports week.
What the school should improve
- The early reading curriculum has recently been revised and is not fully embedded. As a result, some pupils are not learning to read as successfully as they could. Leaders need to continue their plans to implement and embed the new systematic synthetic phonics programme so that all pupils can become fluent, confident readers.
