What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 23 May 2023

There is a welcoming and caring atmosphere at Cheswick Green Primary. Pupils love their school. They say that everyone plays together and treats each other fairly. There are warm, respectful relationships between adults and pupils. Pupils feel safe because they trust staff to deal with any problems, including bullying. Leaders have high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils have positive attitudes to learning. They want to do well and they try hard. As a result, pupils generally achieve well. Pupils are polite and behave well in all areas of the school. Classrooms are calm, and pupils listen respectfully to their teachers and to each other. On the playground, older pupils plan and run games for younger pupils. This contributes to fun, friendly and stimulating breaktimes. Leaders listen to pupils at Cheswick Green Primary. For example, the school council members had ideas about how to make lining up after break more orderly. Leaders adopted their suggestions. This makes pupils feel valued. Pupils take on responsibilities such as becoming a buddy to younger pupils, training as peer listeners or becoming digital leaders. These roles help them to become confident and responsible.

What the school should improve

  • Communication between home and school is not always clear enough. Some parents do not feel well informed about recent changes and provision for their children. Leaders need to improve how they communicate with parents so that parents feel better informed and can understand the reasons behind the decisions leaders take.
  • Some subject leaders do not have enough opportunity to monitor the delivery of the curriculum to check that staff are deployed in the most effective way. As a result of this, opportunities are sometimes missed to address pupils' misconceptions and provide precise support. Leaders should support subject leaders to complete effective monitoring that will ensure staffing resources are used well in all subjects.
