What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 December 2023
College Road Primary School is warm and welcoming. Parents and carers say their children are known and accepted. The members of the school community have selected values they believe are important to know and follow. These include equality, hope and responsibility. Pupils talk confidently about why these are important to their learning and development as individuals. They are rewarded for demonstrating these consistently. Pupils are enthusiastic about their learning. They have many opportunities to discuss ideas and work together. Children in Reception Year quickly learn the expected routines and the importance of having 'listening ears'. These positive learning habits are evident throughout the school. Many pupils take on leadership roles, such as being in the school council, an art ambassador or a sports coach. They enjoy making positive contributions to the school. For example, pupils designed a new playhouse for use at social times and organise sporting activities for younger pupils at lunchtime. Pupils are encouraged to be creative and many develop a passion for the arts. For example, pupils' collaboration with a local artist resulted in a display of a phoenix to represent the school's history.
What the school should improve
- In the foundation subjects, the assessment of pupils' knowledge and understanding is at the early stages of development. This means that teachers do not know precisely what pupils know and remember in different subjects. The school should ensure that there is a consistent and effective approach to how assessment is used in the foundation subjects.
- The school does not have a detailed understanding of the level of pupil participation in extra-curricular or enrichment activities. This means it does not know which pupils are accessing these opportunities on a regular basis. The school should ensure that it has a comprehensive overview to check that there is equal access to such opportunities for all pupils.
