What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 March 2024
East Wold Church of England Primary School is a school that knows its strengths and aspects that need to be improved. There is a clear and ambitious vision, but that vision has not yet been realised. Most pupils are happy to attend this school and feel safe. They know that support is available if they have worries about anything. Staff teach pupils to share any concerns they might have. The school has high expectations of all pupils and wants the very best for them. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils enjoy meaningful opportunities to contribute to the life of the school. For example, pupils lead the writing and drama clubs. However, the impact of the curriculum on the outcomes of statutory assessment is not yet consistent. Attendance is high and most pupils behave well. They pay attention to their teachers and work well together. A small number of pupils do not behave well. This can impact on their learning and occasionally that of other pupils. Some parents raised concerns about disruptive behaviour. The majority of parents and carers are happy with the school. As one parent commented, 'My children have benefited from the committed and dedicated staff. They clearly care for the children and try their best for them.'
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the implementation of the intended curriculum is not closely matched to the school's high expectations. As a result, pupils do not achieve as well as they could. The school should ensure that the implementation of the curriculum is consistent across all subjects and in all classrooms to raise pupils' achievement.
- The behaviour of a small number of pupils falls significantly below the high expectations of the school. This impacts on their learning and occasionally that of other pupils. The school should ensure that the behaviour policy is implemented consistently by all staff to help all pupils behave well.
- The school's strategies for managing staff workload and supporting staff well- being are not yet fully effective. As a result, some staff do not feel well supported. The school should establish clear processes for communicating with staff about strategies to manage workload and for liaising with staff about how effective these are.
