What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 March 2024
Pupils are proud to attend Fitzmaurice Primary School. It is a happy and inviting place to learn. Pupils talk willingly about how the school's motto of 'aiming high, showing respect and having fun' guides them every day. Staff set clear routines and expectations for pupils' behaviour in school. They are determined that all pupils will learn well. Pupils' behaviour fulfils these expectations. Pupils value learning both in the classroom and beyond. Pupils are caring and sensitive and support one another well. The school is a calm and orderly place. Pupils are safe and place high levels of trust in staff to help them with any worries they have. The relationships between pupils and staff are warm and encouraging. The school creates an environment where pupils are listened to. Pupils benefit from a range of memorable activities that develop their interests and talents, for example visiting Stonehenge and performing as a dance troupe. Pupils make a tangible difference to the school as members of the equality team and as sports leaders. Parents are overwhelmingly positive. They feel that the school is a caring community where every pupil is included and valued as an individual.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the most important knowledge that pupils need to learn has not been identified clearly enough. Pupils develop gaps in their knowledge and do not build their understanding over time. The trust should ensure that the key curriculum content is identified so that pupils know and remember more.
- In a few subjects, the school's approach to assessment is not used well. This means that staff do not form an up-to-date picture of how well pupils develop their knowledge and understanding of the curriculum. The trust should ensure that staff check precisely what pupils know and remember and use this information to inform or adapt the curriculum and future learning.
