What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 9 July 2024
Castlecroft Primary School is an inclusive school. The motto 'we are all different, we are all special' reflects how the school values all its pupils. It is a welcoming place, and pupils are proud to attend. Relationships between adults and pupils are warm and respectful. Because of this, pupils feel very happy and safe at school. Leaders and staff are ambitious in their expectations of what all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), can achieve. Staff support pupils to do their best. Consequently, pupils are well prepared for their future. Pupils are polite, well-mannered and friendly. They behave well and follow the well-established routines. The school provides an exceptional range of opportunities for pupils to be involved in, beyond the classroom. This includes trips, workshops and events such as a German café. Pupils enjoy putting on concerts and performances, such as a rock concert in school. They have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument and take part in sports, spelling and poetry competitions. Pupils enjoy attending a wide range of after-school clubs. These include drama, art, science, reading, football and netball. These help pupils to develop their talents and interests.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, pupils do not yet have regular opportunities to revisit and practise previous learning. This makes it hard for pupils to build up the body of knowledge that the school expects and, as a result, some pupils have gaps in their learning. The school should develop and embed ways to help pupils remember and build on their learning over time consistently in all subjects.
