What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 January 2025
Foxdell Primary School is a supportive and welcoming community, putting pupils at the centre of all it does. The school celebrates the diverse cultures and backgrounds of its community, ensuring a safe and happy environment for every child. The school has high expectations for both behaviour and learning. Pupils follow the 'Foxdell Way', moving calmly and responsibly through the school. Most attend regularly, are happy and enjoy their lessons, striving to do their best and taking pride in their work. Pupils take on various roles, such as play leaders and school council members. The Eco Council is especially proud of its efforts to improve the school grounds and of earning the Eco Green Flag Award. These experiences foster a strong sense of pride and belonging within the school community. The school's ethos is built on positive and supportive relationships between adults and pupils. Children feel safe and know they can confidently approach staff with any concerns. A careful and personalised approach to early language development helps pupils build strong communication skills right from the beginning. Most pupils achieve well across the curriculum and understand what it means to be a good citizen. This ensures they are well-prepared for the next stage of their education.
What the school should improve
- Some teachers do not consistently adapt their teaching to meet the needs of all pupils, occasionally setting tasks that are too difficult. As a result, some pupils struggle to complete these tasks successfully. The school should ensure that all teachers have the expertise needed so that they can modify tasks so that all pupils can access learning and make progress through the curriculum.
- In the early years, tasks designed to support children's independent learning do not always give sufficient consideration of children's developmental needs and learning goals. As a result, some children struggle to sustain engagement with activities, limiting their ability to fully benefit from these opportunities. The school should ensure that teachers have a clear understanding of the specific learning objectives for each activity so that they design activities that are purposeful, capture children's interest and foster deeper learning.
