What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 June 2025
Pupils are happy and proud to be members of Earlsmead Primary School. They enjoy their lessons and feel safe at school. They know that they have trusted adults that they can talk to about worries or concerns. The school teaches pupils how to stay healthy and safe. They learn, in an age-appropriate way, about topics such as online safety, road safety and healthy relationships. Pupils behave well. They respond positively to clear and consistently applied routines. Teachers deal with rare incidents of poor behaviour effectively. Adults have high expectations of pupils' achievements. Pupils rise to these high expectations, displaying positive attitudes to learning and achieving well over time. The school is very inclusive. The many pupils who join the school mid-year are helped to settle and learn well. Equally, pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are encouraged and supported to aim high, regardless of any barriers to learning that they face. Enrichment activities are carefully woven into the curriculum. Pupils enjoy taking their classroom learning into the real world through well-considered visits, including residential opportunities. Pupils develop a range of interests through many clubs, including first aid, sign language and gardening.
What the school should improve
- The school does not consistently use assessment in the foundation subjects to identify what pupils have remembered or where they have gaps in understanding. As a result, some pupils do not build securely on prior learning. The school and the trust should ensure that assessment in foundation subjects is used effectively to support pupils to know more and remember more over time.
