What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 July 2024
Ellenbrook Primary School is a happy school where everyone feels welcome. Pupils are valued for their individuality. They celebrate diversity and show respect for the differences between people. Pupils enjoy coming to school each day. Children in the Nursery and Reception classes settle into school exceptionally well. Pupils behave well in class and at breaktimes. They know the clear expectations that the school has of their behaviour. Pupils follow the agreed rules and routines well. The school has high expectations of what pupils can achieve, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils relish opportunities to learn new things across a wide range of subjects. They achieve well in many curriculum areas. Pupils attain highly in reading, writing and mathematics. Children in the early years are incredibly well prepared for key stage 1. Pupils value being able to make a positive contribution to their local community. For example, during Citizenship Week, some pupils picked litter while others helped to plant at a local garden. Pupils enjoy engaging in the wide range of after-school clubs, and they look forward to representing the school in competitions and events. Pupils' learning is enhanced by a rich variety of trips and visits.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, staff do not teach all the information detailed in the school's curriculum. This means that, sometimes, pupils do not gain all the knowledge that they need for future learning. The school should ensure that staff receive the support that they need to deliver all aspects of the intended curriculum well.
- On occasion, staff do not act quickly enough to address the gaps in learning or misconceptions that pupils may have. This hinders how deeply some pupils learn. The school should ensure that staff are suitably equipped to identify and remedy pupils' gaps in knowledge swiftly.
