What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 March 2022
The pupils at Giffards Primary School are walking, talking examples of the school's values, particularly being caring and respectful. They build warm, supportive relationships with staff. Pupils are keen to achieve well. They enjoy being quizzed about their learning. This is because leaders have designed an interesting curriculum that teachers deliver well. Pupils' access to effective remote learning has helped many to keep up with their education. Parents report positively on this aspect of the school's curriculum. The pupils needing to catch up enjoy their after-school tuition. Pupils talk excitedly about the broad offer of extra-curricular clubs. They particularly enjoy boarding the school's minibus to participate in inter-school competitions. Pupils know about bullying. However, they have to think long and hard about a time when they saw it happening at their school. Pupils say that they can turn to any member of staff if they have a problem and the adult will help them. Because of all this and more, pupils feel happy and safe in this school.
What the school should improve
- Not all staff respond efficiently to pupils' difficulties in class. As a result, some pupils do not receive timely and suitable help to overcome misconceptions. Leaders must organise a programme of training and monitoring to strengthen staff's knowledge of assessment.
