What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 January 2023
Deighton Gates Primary School is a warm, welcoming and caring school. Pupils are proud to attend and be part of its community. Parents and carers recognise the school's work to treat every child as an individual person. They value the time staff take to discuss any concerns that are raised. All parents who responded to Ofsted's survey, Ofsted Parent View, said that they would recommend the school to others. Staff have high expectations of all pupils. Pupils live up to these expectations well. Classrooms are calm, orderly places in which pupils focus on learning. Pupils enjoy spending time with their friends at breaktimes. They play well in the extensive grounds. Pupils from across the school benefit from opportunities to contribute to school life. This includes roles such as school councillors, curriculum ambassadors and 'play makers'. Pupils represent Deighton Gates in local competitions and participate in events with other schools, as well as within the local community. Pupils feel safe in school. Regular opportunities are provided to teach pupils about bullying. Pupils know how to recognise the signs of what bullying is, and what it is not. Leaders act swiftly to address the low number of bullying incidents when they occur. Pupils are polite and courteous and engage well with their peers and adults. Adults interact well with pupils. This provides a nurturing environment for pupils to thrive.
What the school should improve
- While the curriculum maps out what pupils will learn as they move through school, it does not clearly identify how pupils' knowledge can be deepened in all subjects. This means that opportunities are sometimes missed for pupils to fully benefit from the school's intended curriculum. Leaders should further develop ways in which pupils can extend their learning to create deeper links across the curriculum.
