What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 December 2022
Escrick Church of England Primary School is a happy and welcoming school at the heart of the village. It is a place where pupils are truly able to flourish. The school's well-maintained grounds, including a forest school, provide pupils with opportunities to explore and grow in confidence. Links with organisations in the village, and further afield, enable pupils to contribute positively to projects in the local area. Leaders have high expectations and aspirations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils live up to these expectations well. The school's ethos and values support pupils to become responsible and respectful individuals. Pupils recognise that their actions have consequences. They value, and benefit from, the range of opportunities available to them. Pupils behave well. A small number of pupils, sometimes, find it difficult to meet the school's expectations. The school's nurturing approach supports these pupils effectively. Over time, they begin to settle into school routines. Pupils feel safe in school. They trust adults and know that they can speak to someone if they are worried about something. Incidents of bullying are rare. Leaders respond quickly when they occur.
What the school should improve
- Leaders have not clearly defined the crucial knowledge that pupils need to learn in all subjects as they progress through the school. Teachers do not consistently know the precise knowledge that pupils need to learn in some subjects. Leaders should continue to develop the school's curriculum, so that key knowledge is identified to enable them to accurately identify gaps in pupils' learning.
