What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 January 2025
Pupils are proud to be a part of the caring and supportive community at Hailey Church of England Primary School. The values of 'love, compassion and respect' are deeply embedded in the daily life of the school. Staff teach and model these values, which contributes to a culture where pupils make every effort to be kind and respectful to each other. Behaviour in lessons and pupils' attitudes to learning are exemplary. Strong foundations are laid in the early years, where children are taught to follow classroom routines and expectations. Pupils know that their teachers have high expectations of what they can achieve, and this inspires them to work hard. They learn and achieve well, particularly in reading, writing and mathematics. Pupils are excited to learn new things, and they are encouraged to be curious. They look forward to a range of trips and visitors to the school linked to the curriculum. The school encourages pupils to become responsible citizens. Older pupils enjoy becoming 'ambassadors' by taking on key roles around the school such as supporting assemblies. Some pupils act as buddies for those in younger year groups, which contributes to the school's ethos of mutual care and respect.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes lesson activities in the foundation subjects curriculum are not well designed to ensure pupils remember the intended learning. This means pupils' learning in these subjects is not always as secure as it could be. The school should ensure that the lesson tasks within the curriculum are designed so pupils have every opportunity to remember and apply the most important knowledge in each subject.
