What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 September 2023
Farsley Farfield Primary School is a vibrant and happy place to learn. Pupils feel they belong here and see themselves as part of a diverse family. Adults inspire pupils to treat each other with kindness and respect. The school's 'learning hive' behaviours help pupils to understand what is expected of them. Pupils live out these expectations in their relationships and conduct. The school has developed an exciting curriculum that brings learning to life for pupils. For example, pupils' learning in geography is enhanced by exceptional fieldwork opportunities. Pupils develop a deep understanding of concepts such as river erosion and rock formation. Adults have high aspirations for pupils. The curriculum helps pupils to achieve these aspirations. The school gives pupils many opportunities to explore their interests. Pupils enjoy looking after the chickens and helping to manage the school farm. The school provides many opportunities at breaktimes for pupils to develop their physical confidence. Pupils build dens and test their skills on the assault courses and climbing frames. Skilled adults support pupils with physical needs to make sure that they have the same opportunities as their peers. Leaders have created a truly inclusive culture in which all pupils can flourish.
What the school should improve
- On occasion, the tasks that pupils are given to complete are not focused precisely enough on the things that they need to learn. This means that sometimes pupils are not learning the most important things that they need to know. The school should make sure that teachers receive the support they need to choose tasks that support the intended learning more precisely.
- Some aspects of the early years curriculum are less precise in supporting children to develop their learning. The school should further refine the curriculum so that children's learning is equally well supported across all areas.
