What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 January 2025
Pupils at Central Walker Primary School are welcoming and friendly. They are proud of their school and are keen to talk to visitors. Pupils meet the school's high expectations for conduct. They enjoy warm and supportive relationships with adults. Pupils trust adults to listen and help them with any worries or concerns they may have. Pupils behave well. The atmosphere in classrooms and around the school is calm and purposeful. This starts in Nursery. Children respond well to the routines that are in place and grow in independence. Across the school, pupils are polite and well-mannered. They routinely follow the school rules. Pupils understand that staff expect them to do well. With the exception of mathematics where learning is not as secure as it could be, pupils achieve well. Pupils take part in a variety of enrichment activities. The school is ambitious that all pupils access a range of experiences. This is achieved through a targeted curriculum offer. Pupils make visits to places of interest and learn important life skills such as CPR. These are carefully planned to support and build on areas of the curriculum. For example, pupils visit a range of places of worship to develop their knowledge of religion.
What the school should improve
- The mathematics curriculum is not implemented well enough. This means that some pupils have gaps in their mathematical knowledge and do not achieve as well as they should. The school should continue to enhance and further embed the mathematics curriculum to ensure that all pupils acquire the intended knowledge to be able to achieve well.
