What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 15 March 2022

Filton Avenue Primary School is a happy, caring and inclusive place for pupils to learn. The school's values of collaboration, aspiration, respect and endeavour underpin the way in which pupils and staff treat each other. This brings out the best in everyone for the benefit of the school. Staff have high expectations for every pupil. Pupils work hard to rise to this challenge. They are eager to learn and enjoy lessons. Leaders have designed an engaging curriculum that puts the local community at its heart. There are many opportunities for pupils to extend their learning beyond the curriculum. Relationships between pupils and staff are strong. Pupils feel safe and are confident to speak to staff about any worries. Those who find managing their emotions more difficult get the support they need. Pupils say that behaviour is good in school. They say that if bullying does occur, it is dealt with well by staff. Pupils enjoy the many positions of responsibility that they hold. Oracy champions, school council members and pupil advocates are highly prized positions. These roles enable pupils to take an active part in school life and make a positive contribution to the school.

What the school should improve

  • Some pupils do not read books that precisely match the sounds they know. As a result, pupils who are falling behind are not catching up as quickly as they could. Leaders need to ensure that pupils' books are clearly matched to their phonic knowledge.
