What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 November 2022
Pupils are happy and feel safe at Folksworth Church of England Primary School. They appreciate the high-quality pastoral support staff give them throughout the school day. Pupils know adults will listen to them and help them if they have any worries. Pupils enjoy their lessons in a broad range of subjects. They especially like it when teachers read stories to them. Pupils read books that help them learn about different cultures. There are a range of visits and activities that pupils enjoy, such as trips to Burghley House and the opportunity to learn a musical instrument. These add to what pupils learn in lessons and provide them with new experiences. Pupils enjoy holding positions of responsibility such as librarians, eco councillors and school councillors. Elections for these positions help to develop pupils' understanding of democracy. Pupils work hard to achieve the high expectations leaders have of them. They behave well in and out of lessons. Bullying is rare. Pupils are confident staff will help them to deal with it if it does happen. Older pupils enjoy looking after younger pupils in the school dining hall where pupils from all age groups sit and eat their lunch together.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, teachers do not always teach the planned curriculum consistently. This means some pupils have gaps in their knowledge and do not produce the quality of work they are capable of. Leaders must ensure that teachers effectively teach the planned curriculum across all subjects so that pupils have a more secure understanding of what they have learned and produce work which reflects what they are capable of.
- Some subject leaders are new to post and have not routinely monitored their subjects. This means they have not picked up on the inconsistencies in the quality of pupils' work. Leaders must ensure all subject leaders are well trained in how to lead their subjects, so they are able to accurately monitor, and hold teachers to account for, the quality of the curriculum from early years to Year 6.
