What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 November 2024
Pupils are happy and enjoy learning at Glynwood Primary School. Pupils understand that the school's values help them to be resilient. Adults are consistent in the approach they take to support pupils to behave well. Pupils know that adults listen to and act on any worries that they may have. As a result, pupils feel safe at school. The school is ambitious for all pupils to do well. Pupils benefit from a well-designed curriculum. The majority of pupils benefit from a good quality of education, although this is not reflected in provisional outcomes for key stage 2 in 2024. The school supports pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to make progress from their starting points. The school plans opportunities for pupils' wider development well. Pupils, including the youngest, have opportunities to take on positions of responsibility and contribute to life at the school. For example, pupils can act as eco-warriors, playground leaders, reading ambassadors and be part of the school council. The school offers a range of clubs to develop wider interests, including photography, theatre club, sports clubs and music tuition. Pupils make use of these opportunities. There are regular trips for each year group, including visits to museums, art galleries and residential trips.
What the school should improve
- The mathematics curriculum has not been embedded and implemented sufficiently well. This means that pupils do not achieve as well as they could. The school should continue to enhance and further embed the revised mathematics curriculum to ensure that all pupils acquire the intended knowledge to be able to achieve well.
- The school has not fully addressed the significant absence of some pupils. This impacts on how well pupils learn and hinders their progress. The school should continue to review how it works with parents and other agencies to tackle pupils' poor attendance.
- The curriculum does not give pupils a sufficient understanding of different faiths and religions. This means that pupils do not have a depth of knowledge and understanding about faith and different religions. The school should ensure that pupils are taught to learn about and understand faiths and religions.
