What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 May 2024
Pupils at Glenfield Primary School are polite, tolerant and kind. They enjoy extremely positive relationships with caring staff. Behaviour is exceptional. Lessons are free from distractions. Pupils show exceptionally positive attitudes to learning. At playtimes, they play together happily. Staff resolve rare incidents of poor behaviour or fallings out quickly and fairly. Pupils trust staff to keep them safe and provide support when they are worried. The school is inclusive and aspirational. The curriculum is ambitious. Staff adapt the curriculum well to meet the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). This includes a significant number of pupils with EHC plans who attend the SEN unit, known as the Speech and Language Provision. These pupils receive excellent care and support to access the same curriculum as their peers whenever they can. Pupils, including disadvantaged pupils and those with SEND, enjoy a wide range of experiences that enrich the curriculum and support their wider development. These include educational visits and residential trips. Staff provide clubs that match pupils' interests and help to develop sporting and musical talents. Pupils proudly act as reading ambassadors and represent the school council.
What the school should improve
- In some lessons, learning activities are not sharply focused on the knowledge that is identified in the curriculum. In some cases, this is because the knowledge that pupils should learn has not been defined clearly enough. In these lessons, pupils' learning is insecure. They do not always remember what they have learned. The school needs to make sure that the important knowledge that pupils will learn is defined precisely and that lesson activities support pupils to learn and remember that knowledge.
- In the foundation subjects, the school has not yet embedded routines for checking how securely pupils have learned the important knowledge identified in the curriculum. Misconceptions and gaps in pupils' knowledge are not always identified and addressed. The school needs to establish routines for checking pupils' learning and ensure that gaps and misconceptions are addressed.
