What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 7 February 2023

Adults have high expectations of what pupils will learn across the curriculum at Flamborough C of E (VC) Primary School. Pupils discuss their learning well in subjects like science and history. They are enthusiastic about their knowledge of Anglo-Saxon life. Pupils are happy and feel safe. Adults use the behaviour rules consistently around the school. Pupils behave well. In lessons, pupils are respectful to adults and each other. Pupils have a clear understanding of bullying and say it does not happen. Leaders' records support this. If there are disagreements, teachers help pupils to resolve any differences. In lessons, assemblies and at 'Icthus Club,' pupils develop a deep understanding of different religions, such as Christianity and Judaism. Community members of different faith groups have talked to pupils about their experiences. This has helped pupils to understand prejudice. They know how to treat others fairly. There are many opportunities for pupils to develop their talents and interests. At fencing club, pupils receive certificates for achievement. Educational visits linked to the curriculum help pupils gain deeper knowledge about the subjects they study. Pupils especially enjoyed the visit to Eden Camp as part of their learning about the Second World War.

What the school should improve

  • Leaders' systems do not check what pupils know in the foundation subjects. Pupils' gaps in knowledge and/or misconceptions in these subjects are not addressed. Leaders should ensure that teachers purposefully check what pupils know across the breadth of the curriculum.
  • Teachers do not adapt tasks for pupils with SEND consistently well. Pupils with SEND do not make the progress of which they are capable in some subjects. Leaders should make sure that teachers are trained to set appropriate tasks so pupils with SEND access the curriculum as well as their peers.
