What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 24 September 2024

Etruscan Primary school is a school that is at the heart of the community. It is a caring and inclusive school. The core values of the school, REACH (respectful, enjoyment, achievement, collaboration, and honesty) permeate throughout all aspects of school life. Pupils demonstrate these values through their highly positive attitudes to learning. They are polite, well mannered and welcoming. Pupils enjoy learning here. Pupils benefit from positive, caring relationships with the adults at the school. They know who they can talk to if they are worried about anything. As a result, pupils feel safe and happy in school. The school has taken decisive action to strengthen the curriculum to improve outcomes for pupils. Some improvements are not fully realised because the curriculum is not consistently delivered as well as it could be. Some pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), do not achieve as well as they should. There is a sharp focus on supporting pupils' wider well-being. The school provides highly effective pastoral support for pupils and families. Pupils benefit from taking part in '11 by 11' activities to widen their horizons and enable them to make a positive contribution to their community.

What the school should improve

  • The curriculum is not adapted well enough for some pupils with SEND. This means that some pupils with SEND do not learn as well as they could. The school should ensure that staff get the information and training they need to support all pupils with SEND well.
  • In some subjects, there is limited monitoring and evaluation of how well the curriculum is being implemented. Therefore, there are some inconsistencies in how well subject content is implemented. The school needs to provide subject leaders with the right training and opportunities to develop their confidence and expertise in monitoring and improving their subject, so that outcomes improve.
  • In some subjects, the school has not developed successful systems to accurately check on how well pupils learn. This prevents pupils from building knowledge securely. The school should ensure that staff accurately check pupil's learning, in all subjects, to help pupils to know and remember more.
