What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 December 2022
Pupils are proud to attend Flintham Primary School. They agree that it is a great place to learn. They like their teachers and say they make their lessons interesting. They appreciate the large, pleasant outdoor space they have to play in. Leaders are aspirational for what pupils can achieve academically and personally. Pupils are clear about the characteristics their teachers expect them to model. These are based on the school's 'super six' aims: be determined, be responsible, explore, aspire, make good choices and show respect. Pupils do their very best to demonstrate these qualities in every aspect of school life. The result is a harmonious and happy school. Pupils get along well together. They show respect and care for one another. They welcome new pupils to the school and help them to make friends. Pupils do not worry about bullying. They know that an adult in school will always be there to sort their problems out. Pupils, staff and parents agree that the school keeps pupils safe. Parents value the school's caring approach. One parent commented: 'It's an absolutely delightful village school with kind teachers and a real focus on a well- rounded education.'
What the school should improve
- A small number of staff do not teach reading with the precision that leaders expect. Sometimes, adults use inaccurate strategies or do not correct the errors that pupils make. This may result in some pupils not learning to read as well as they could. Leaders should ensure that all staff follow the intended programme to teach reading with fidelity and accuracy.
- The school's provision for pupils with SEND is not routinely monitored. Leaders and teachers do not systematically review how well these pupils are supported to access the same learning as their peers, identify what is working well or where further adaptations may be needed. Leaders must ensure that there is an agreed approach for the way in which provision for pupils with SEND is reviewed.
