What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 January 2023
Drew Primary School is an inclusive and welcoming school at the heart of its community. Pupils are happy, safe and enjoy their learning. They are friendly and behave well in lessons. Pupils demonstrate the core values of the school, such as showing respect and being responsible. Bullying is rare. If any bullying happens, leaders deal with it effectively. Parents and carers value the education and support for pupils that leaders provide. Leaders have high expectations of pupils' achievement. Pupils get the help they need to meet these expectations. Leaders continue to improve the quality of education to give pupils a good chance of educational success. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well. Pupils enjoy the different activities on offer. They particularly enjoy visits, including to outdoor activity centres. Leaders encourage all pupils to take part in a wide range of high-quality activities. These include sports, chess and music. Pupils have valuable opportunities to take responsibility, for example as school councillors and prefects.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, leaders have not identified fully the knowledge that pupils need to learn. This means that teachers are sometimes unclear about the essential knowledge they need to teach. As a result, in these subjects, teaching does not build up pupils' knowledge in a logical and sequential way. Leaders should ensure that teachers know, precisely, the essential knowledge they need to teach and in what order.
