What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 April 2023
Adults have high expectations of all pupils at Francis Askew Primary School. Pupils are motivated to learn about many of the subjects they study. They aspire to meet the 'REACH' values of the school. When pupils are resilient, expressive and aim to do their best, they know they will attain a reward. Pupils are happy and safe. Most pupils are polite and respectful towards others and demonstrate positive attitudes to learning. At playtimes, pupils play well together building dens, balancing on beams and cooking in the mud kitchen. Pupils understand what bullying is. If it happens, teachers resolve it promptly. There are many opportunities for pupils to develop their talents and interests. Pupils enjoy attending basketball, football and reading club. There is opportunity for all pupils to learn to play a musical instrument. The annual residential visit helps older pupils to develop their teamwork skills, as well as providing opportunities to participate in adventurous activities such as rock climbing and archery. Teachers help pupils to show respect and to care for everyone in the same way. Pupils are respectful of difference. Some pupils have important roles in school, such as head and deputy head of the school council. However, opportunities for pupil leadership are limited. For example, pupils do not routinely have chances to vote for their peers and to learn about democracy.
What the school should improve
- Teaching is not consistent in all subjects. Sometimes, teachers do not make appropriate choices about lesson content. This means that pupils do not achieve the highest possible outcomes, particularly in writing. Leaders should ensure that teachers are supported to make appropriate pedagogical choices so that pupils are able to achieve their full potential.
- Opportunities for pupil leadership in the school are limited. As an example, pupils are not routinely given opportunities to vote for their peers or to take part in democratic activities. This means that they are not fully prepared for life in modern Britain. Leaders should ensure that all pupils are taught about democracy and that they have meaningful opportunities to develop their leadership skills.
