What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 30 June 2023
Pupils are very happy at Flamstead Village School. They love seeing their friends and teachers. Pupils are kind to each other. Older pupils play well with younger children. There is a positive feeling of community spirit. Pupils form good relationships with adults in the school. Pupils are well cared for. They know that they have someone to talk to if they need to. Pupils enjoy the opportunities they have to go on trips. A recent theatre trip to London, for example, was very popular. Staff have high expectations for all pupils, including those in the early years. Pupils benefit from lessons that normally engage them. They find the work tricky sometimes. However, they enjoy this because they know they are supported to do well. Pupils are respectful to each other and to adults. Classrooms are calm and well managed. This means it is easy for pupils to concentrate and to do their work without being distracted. Pupils behave well around the site and during playtime.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the curriculum is not as well planned as in other areas. Where this happens, pupils do not develop their skills and knowledge as deeply as they should. Leaders should ensure that all subjects are equally well planned and ambitious for all pupils.
- Teachers do not always select the most appropriate teaching strategies or materials to support pupils to learn the intended content, including for children in the early years. This means that pupils do not achieve as well as they could in some aspects of the curriculum. Leaders should ensure that staff are sufficiently well trained to support pupils to achieve well in all subjects.
