What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 February 2024
Grange Farm Primary is a friendly and improved school where pupils get along with each other well. One pupil, speaking for many, summed up the school by saying, 'Everyone is welcome here.' The school's values of 'respect, responsibility and resilience' are well embedded and are lived out in how pupils behave towards each other. Most parents are positive about the school and the opportunities it offers. Pupils attend regularly. The school has renewed the expectations for what pupils learn, and pupils are responding very positively to the increased level of challenge the school now offers. They concentrate well in lessons, and can talk about their work and how they are supported to improve. They show resilience when presented with more challenging tasks, and are increasingly able to complete these. Pupils can talk clearly about the significant number of visits and visitors they have each term. There are a considerable range of extra-curricular opportunities that pupils enjoy. These include a wider variety of sports, including competitive opportunities that are designed to be open to as many pupils as possible. Pupils relish the new leadership opportunities they have in the school, and are pleased to be able to lead on aspects of the school's development.
What the school should improve
- There are some inconsistencies in how well the new curriculum is delivered in foundation subjects. This means that there is variation in the quality of education. Leaders should ensure that quality assurance and professional development support all staff to deliver the new ambitious curriculum as they intend across all foundation subjects.
- In some foundation subjects, the selection of learning activities is less precise. This means that the learning activities do not enable pupils to securely build on their knowledge and skills as well as they might. The school should ensure that the curriculum in these subjects is coherently planned and delivered so that each learning activity selected consistently enables pupils to deepen their learning over time.
- On some occasions, assessment is not used precisely enough. This means that teachers can miss opportunities to identify when pupils have not understood key learning. Leaders need to ensure that all teachers are skilled in using assessment effectively to identify and address any misconceptions.
