What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 December 2024
Pupils are inspired to learn at this vibrant school. They are excited by the rich learning opportunities on offer, which are further enhanced by a wide range of visits and visitors. Pupils enthusiastically recall their trips out to a steam railway as part of their learning about World War II or the knight on horseback who visited the school. These experiences help bring learning to life for pupils. Pupils know that they are expected to work hard, and they do. They are keen to learn and to share their knowledge. Pupils are rightly proud of their many achievements. They build secure knowledge and are well prepared for the next stages of their education. Pupils behave well, both in lessons and around the school. They appreciate that the school is calm and quiet and explain that it is easy to concentrate in class. Pupils value kindness. They are keen to demonstrate this by helping others. They are delighted to recognise kindnesses shown to them by making nominations using the kindness box. Pupil volunteers diligently discharge responsibilities, such as staffing the tuck shop. Everyone plays their part in helping Escots Primary School to be a welcoming happy place in which to learn.
What the school should improve
- Checks on what pupils know and remember are not currently fully developed across foundation subjects. Sometimes, the knowledge pupils are building in these subjects is confused or unclear. This makes it hard for staff to build on pupils' knowledge accurately. The school should continue to develop the checks it uses to fully understand what knowledge pupils have secured so that staff can build on this as effectively as possible.
