What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 July 2023
Leaders are ambitious for all pupils at Glynne Primary School. They encourage pupils to 'believe in their abilities'. Pupils enjoy coming to school each day. They live the school values of 'respect, integrity, teamwork and enjoyment'. Pupils are happy and safe. Leaders make sure that they deal with any worries or concerns that pupils have swiftly and effectively. Pupils behave exceptionally well in school. This is because leaders set high expectations for pupils' conduct. For example, pupils are involved in creating class charters that set out classroom rules and expectations. Classrooms are industrious places. Staff make sure that there are clear and consistent routines. Pupils are highly motivated and engrossed in their learning during lessons. They play together well at social times. They are polite, kind and respectful. Pupil 'well-being warriors' support those who may need to resolve a friendship issue. Leaders respond quickly to any incidents of poor behaviour or bullying so that it stops quickly. Pupils enjoy a wide range of opportunities, such as trips to a nature reserve, museum and local canal. This helps pupils to deepen their learning. Clubs such as sports clubs, choir and art club help pupils to develop their talents and interests.
What the school should improve
- There is variation in how subject leaders check the impact of their work. This means, for example, that leaders do not know how well pupils are learning the curriculum in some subjects and so do not know what needs to improve. Leaders should ensure that subject leaders know how to evaluate their work effectively and make the necessary improvements so that all pupils consistently learn well.
- There is some variation in how staff deliver the phonics curriculum. This means that some pupils do not have a secure understanding of the sounds they are learning, and those who have fallen behind do not catch up quickly enough. Leaders should ensure that the phonics curriculum is implemented consistently so that all pupils have the foundations to be successful in school.
