What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 January 2023
Faldingworth Community Primary School considers the individual needs of all pupils. Staff place the school's values at the centre of all that they do. These values include being fair and respecting yourself and others. Pupils live out these values in the way in which they treat one another. Parents and carers appreciate the family feel to the school. One parent commented that the school is 'a superb school which feels like an extended family for each child that attends - and their families'. Older pupils take great pride in helping and supporting younger pupils. This includes at social times, when they offer encouragement and help to younger pupils through their roles as lunchtime monitors. Leaders have high expectations of all pupils. Pupils understand these expectations and show them in their attitude to learning. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) benefit from high-quality provision. Pupils feel safe. They are able to talk about who they would speak to if they had a worry or a concern. Most pupils behave well across the school. On the very rare occasions that bullying occurs, leaders deal with it effectively. Pupils take part in a range of extra-curricular activities. Many pupils speak positively about their involvement in a winter well-being club and dance club.
What the school should improve
- The reading curriculum is less effectively prioritised in key stage 2 compared with early years and key stage 1. Older pupils are not as enthusiastic about reading. Leaders should ensure that older pupils get the opportunity to further foster a love of reading and that they have the opportunity to read on a regular basis.
- Leaders have developed subject curriculums which outline the broad knowledge that pupils will learn and when. They have not always identified the precise component knowledge that pupils will learn at each stage of their journey through the curriculum. As a result, pupils are not always able to connect their current learning with previous learning. Leaders should ensure that curriculum plans set out for all teachers the precise knowledge that pupils will learn and when.
