What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 15 May 2024
At Crossflatts Primary School, there is a clear ethos throughout the school community: 'Come as you are, leave at your best'. Pupils are welcoming and accepting of others. Being different is never a barrier to doing your best. The school is ambitious for all pupils. Staff help them to become resilient to new challenges. Pupils demonstrate pride in their work, their school and one another. In the words of one pupil, 'This is a unique experience for seven years of your life.' Pupils behave exceptionally well and with great maturity. If pupils do experience problems with their peers, these are quickly sorted out. Pupils are confident to talk to an adult if they have worries. This helps them to feel safe at school. The school places equal emphasis on academic and personal improvement. Parents and carers speak highly of the school's approach to developing pupils' confidence and character. Pupils understand how to live happy and healthy lives. 'The Big Start', a forest school, regular swimming lessons and a bike track ensure pupils stay active and regularly get to explore the world around them. Trips to local caverns, heritage sites and residential visits further afield enrich pupils' life experiences. An annual Money Week provides the whole school with an opportunity to learn about this important aspect of adult life.
What the school should improve
- In some areas of the foundation curriculum, the structure of learning activities and the way that pupils' knowledge and skills are assessed requires refinement. Some pupils do not develop a deep and rich understanding of the topics they have been taught. The school should work with staff to ensure that learning is carefully sequenced so that pupils develop a strong understanding of the intended curriculum. The way that skills and knowledge are assessed should also be reviewed to ensure that gaps in pupils' understanding are identified precisely and that staff can address these in future teaching.
