What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 April 2023
Pupils are happy at Fairway Primary School. They strive to model governors' and leaders' values of being responsible and ambitious. Staff and pupils are friendly and welcoming. Staff have strong relationships with pupils and their families. This helps to make sure that pupils feel safe in school. When bullying occurs, leaders deal with it effectively. Staff have high expectations of what pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), can achieve and how they should behave. Pupils try hard to meet these expectations. Leaders have put in place a reward system that motivates pupils. They enjoy having their achievements recognised on the class rainbow. Pupils behave well in lessons and around school. Children in the early years learn the routines as soon as they start in the Reception class. This helps them to settle into school well. Pupils play an active role in school life. They plant bulbs in the school garden and pick litter to keep their community clean and tidy. Year 6 pupils are proud of their roles as buddies for children in the Reception class. Pupils relish the opportunities to support the wider community. They frequently raise money for local charities. Pupils have an appreciation of different cultures and faiths. They show high levels of respect for others.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, some teachers do not deliver some of the essential knowledge that pupils should learn. This means that some pupils do not learn the knowledge they need for future learning. Leaders should make sure that teachers are delivering all aspects of the curriculum.
- On occasion, teachers do not choose appropriate teaching methods, resources and activities to help pupils learn the curriculum. As a result, some pupils do not learn all that they should. Leaders should ensure that staff receive the training and guidance they need to deliver the curriculum effectively.
