What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 November 2023
Fynamore Primary prides itself on being an inclusive school. The school's vision, to 'provide a safe, nurturing environment' and the 'support every child needs to flourish', encapsulates what the school strives to achieve. The school is ambitious for all pupils to develop a passion for learning and to be ready for the next stage of learning. Pupils understand the school's inclusive ethos. They learn how to become responsible and respectful citizens. Pupils learn about diversity and equality. They understand it is important to value others' opinions, including those that may be different from their own. Pupils recognise that being a good friend involves making sure they include everyone. They enjoy contributing to the local community by, for example, representing the school at the local community's Remembrance Day service. Pupils are well mannered. Most behave well. Their behaviour reflects the school values. Pupils enjoy receiving rewards such as the coveted 'values star' tokens. This helps them to learn the importance of treating others with kindness. Bullying is rare. Pupils are confident that there are adults to talk to if they are worried. As a result, pupils feel safe.
What the school should improve
- Assessment information is not used precisely enough in some subjects. As a result, teaching does not help all pupils to deepen and extend their learning. The school needs to ensure that assessment information informs next steps in learning so that pupils strengthen and deepen their knowledge across the curriculum.
- Many subject leaders are new to their roles. Leadership is not yet fully developed or expert in all areas of the curriculum. The school must develop expertise in subject leadership to ensure pupils learn and remember the most important curriculum content.
