What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 28 February 2023

Curdworth Primary is a warm, welcoming and inclusive school. Pupils enjoy attending, are happy and feel safe. They know that adults care and look after them. Pupils are polite, confident and mature. They enjoy each other's company and act with kindness. Everyone looks out for one another. Staff have high expectations for all pupils. Pupils behave well in lessons and during social times. They take responsibility for their own behaviour. Pupils can explain what bullying is. They know that it is not tolerated at this school. Pupils are highly focused on their learning. This includes in the early years, where children listen attentively and follow familiar routines. The school's ethos, 'We are a small school with big opportunities', comes alive here. Leaders provide a range of extra experiences. These include taking part in community events, fundraising and trips at home and abroad. Pupils make the most of the opportunities they have to develop their leadership skills. For example, some of the older pupils are 'family leaders' and help the younger ones at lunchtimes. Pupils learn to demonstrate the school values of 'respect, resilience, creativity, curiosity, teamwork and taking risks' and are recognised as Curdworth Champion Learners.

What the school should improve

  • In a few foundation subjects, leaders have not set out the smaller components of knowledge that pupils need and the order in which they need to learn them. This makes it difficult for teachers to make sure pupils learn everything that leaders intend. Leaders should continue to review the design and delivery of the curriculum in foundation subjects. They should do this so that lessons enable pupils to develop the necessary depth and breadth of knowledge in all subjects.
  • In some cases, teachers' subject knowledge could be better. This limits how well they implement the curriculum so that it deepens pupils' learning as well as it might. Leaders should continue to provide training to develop teachers' expertise to deliver the curriculum with even greater success.
