What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 9 April 2024
Pupils learn well at Cookley Sebright Primary School. Leaders have high expectations for what all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), can achieve. Parents and carers appreciate this. Pupils get off to a good start in the early years, and follow a wide-ranging, ambitious curriculum. Learning moves smoothly from one key stage to the next. Pupils especially enjoy practical activities such as filtering pond water in geography lessons. They quickly come to be competent and enthusiastic readers. Adults forge warm relationships with pupils. Pupils benefit from a high standard of pastoral care. The school takes effective steps to help them learn about their mental health. Pupils learn about traditions and cultures beyond their own. There is a calm and purposeful atmosphere in classrooms and corridors. Pupils behave very well in lessons. At social times, they play happily together. Pupils know there is always an adult to turn to who can resolve any issues. This helps all pupils to feel safe. Pupils have several opportunities to take responsibility and to help others, as house captains or 'well-being warriors', for example. They take part in a wide range of extra-curricular activities, including several sports, Latin, gardening and farming.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes pupils' learning is not checked carefully enough. This means that gaps in knowledge are sometimes missed, and teaching is not adapted to help pupils secure their learning. The school should ensure that pupils' knowledge is consistently and precisely checked, and, where needed, these gaps are addressed in subsequent learning.
- Too many pupils, including several who are disadvantaged, are persistently absent. As a result, they miss out on important continuity of learning and many personal and social development opportunities. The school should ensure its ongoing work with parents focuses more closely on reducing the number of persistently absent pupils.
