What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 December 2022
Pupils thrive at Evergreen Primary School. Staff have extremely detailed knowledge of each pupil and have developed strong, caring relationships with them. Pupils rise to the high expectations that adults have for them. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the school. Pupils behave exceptionally well. They move around the school calmly and with great respect. Pupils and staff show great care for each other. Bullying is rare. Records show that when it does happen, staff act quickly to stop it. This helps pupils to feel safe in school. Pupils trust the adults who work with them, and feel that they can always go to an adult if they need support with a concern. Staff skilfully support pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils who find communication difficult are well supported in their interactions with staff. All pupils have SEND. School leaders have designed five pathways, which reflect the very different needs of the pupils. This helps teachers to plan teaching and learning to best meet the needs of the pupils.
What the school should improve
- For a small number of higher attaining pupils, the curriculum is not delivered as well as it could be. This means that some pupils do not make as much progress through the curriculum as they could. Leaders need to complete their review of adaptations to the curriculum to ensure that staff consistently meet the needs of all pupils.
