What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 March 2025
Hadnall Church of England Primary School is a small school with kindness at its heart. There is a strong sense of community at this school. All members of the school community live and breathe the school's motto of 'encourage one another and build each other up'. The school nurtures pupils well. The vast majority of parents and carers agree. One comment was typical of many when they stated, 'the school environment is happy, friendly and welcoming and my child has flourished in their learning and development.' The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement. Outcomes for pupils are improving well. The school continues to work on the curriculum, with the intention that all pupils achieve the very best outcomes in all areas. Pupils live by the school's REACH values of respect, enthusiasm, aspiration, courage and hope. Relationships are strong between staff and pupils. Staff know the pupils very well. This helps to ensure that pupils behave well. Pupils benefit from a range of opportunities to develop their leadership skills. These include taking on roles as school councillors, kindness ambassadors, safeguarding squad, worship leaders and eco councillors. They say, 'we help to look after our school and community'.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the school has not defined the precise knowledge that it wants pupils to learn over time, which considers the mixed-age classes pupils are taught in. Consequently, pupils do not secure new learning as well as they could. The school should ensure that it identifies and sequences the important knowledge that it wants pupils to learn across the curriculum.
- The school's work to provide opportunities for pupils to engage and understand other cultures and faiths is at an early stage of development. Pupils do not have a secure understanding about the breadth of different cultures and faiths in modern Britain. The school should ensure that the opportunities for pupils to experience other cultures and faiths are well developed, so pupils have a deeper understanding of different cultures and world religions.
