What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 17 April 2024

Enderby Danemill Primary School is a happy place to be. Pupils enjoy coming to this caring and friendly school. They appreciate their helpful teachers. Pupils relish taking on responsibilities as school councillors and well-being ambassadors. They typically say they feel proud to 'make their school an even better place'. Pupils behave well and follow the 'Danemill Way'. Pupils are proud to receive praise for being ready, respectful and resilient. If they find this difficult, they get extra help. Pupils say that bullying is rare. They appreciate that staff are quick to help them to resolve problems. Pupils say they feel safe and listened to. The school aims to put its motto of 'only the best is good enough' into practice. Pupils study a wide range of interesting topics and books that enthuse them to learn new and ambitious vocabulary. They practise their arithmetic so they can solve problems accurately in mathematics. They learn from their mistakes. The school makes sure pupils have many valuable experiences, including in sports and music, to help pupils discover and nurture their talents.

What the school should improve

  • Many subject leaders are new to their role. The school has a clear and ambitious vision for providing high-quality education. In some subjects, this is not yet embedded. The school should ensure that teachers receive the support they need to embed this fully across all subjects so that pupils from across the school, including in the early years, achieve as well as they can.
  • Some pupils with SEND do not always receive the precise adaptations and support they need to access learning consistently well in all subjects. This does not help them to make as much progress as they could. The school should ensure that pupils who need additional support receive the precise support they need to become increasingly fluent and independent learners.
