What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 October 2022
At Coatham Primary School, leaders are committed to preparing pupils for their future. Leaders want pupils to 'learn not for school, but for life'. This school motto is evident in how pupils learn here. Right from early years, children are encouraged to be independent and to learn from mistakes. Staff ensure that pupils have strategies to use if they are stuck. They try before they ask for help, and they show resilience. Parents and carers agree that pupils thrive here and grow in confidence. Leaders have created an inclusive community. Staff have high expectations of what all pupils can learn and do, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils enjoy meeting these expectations. Leaders make sure that pupils understand respect. Pupils understand how to be a good friend. They also receive clear messages around bullying. They know what to do if it happens. Pupils know how to report bullying and trust adults to put a stop to it. If bullying happens, teachers treat it seriously. They act quickly to stop it. Older pupils are proud to be chosen as anti-bullying ambassadors. They support younger pupils to play together and cooperate. Pupils feel happy and safe here.
What the school should improve
- Staff do not currently deliver phonics with the same level of expertise. This means that some pupils do not make progress as quickly as others. Leaders should ensure that staff receive ongoing training, so that they deliver the new phonics scheme effectively.
- In some lessons, activities do not encourage pupils to focus on the most important knowledge that leaders want them to learn. This means that some pupils find it difficult to explain their learning clearly. Some struggle to remember key information in some subjects. Leaders should ensure that activities chosen in lessons focus clearly on the key knowledge that they want pupils to learn, so that pupils develop their understanding more fully.
