What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 February 2022
Green Lane Primary Academy prides itself on being 'a big school with a big heart'. Leaders are highly ambitious for all pupils, with the belief that 'anything is possible'. Parents and carers say that the pastoral care for pupils is 'first class', and pupils are treated with love and respect. Parents felt well supported when the school was only open to some children due to COVID-19 restrictions. Leaders provided online learning and paper packs for pupils who continued to learn remotely. Pupils enjoy coming to school. They feel safe and say that bullying does not really happen. Pupils are confident that if there were an incident, swift action would be taken by a trusted adult. Pupils have a love of learning. They especially like the many visits and visitors that teachers arrange for them. This includes the local authors, artists and scientists who have visited the school. Pupils value the special responsibilities they are given, such as those of the 'head starters', who are pupils trained to support their classmates with any small worries that they may have. Behaviour is a strength of the school. Pupils are polite and welcoming to visitors. Pupils are engaged in lessons. They move around school with care and consideration for others. Leaders ensure a rich variety of extra-curricular activities. For example, pupils attend clubs for creative play, multicultural dance and board games. There is something for everyone. Staff describe the school as one big family. They feel valued and listened to. Leaders are supportive and offer practical help to manage the workload of staff.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, the curriculum is new this year and has not had time to embed. Therefore, pupils' learning in these subjects does not yet build sufficiently on prior knowledge. Leaders should check carefully that plans are implemented and develop a system of assessment across foundation subjects to ensure that pupils are knowing more and remembering more.
