What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 October 2023
Halberton Primary School is at the heart of its community. Pupils are happy and feel safe. They know they are cared for by all staff. The school works closely with families and is ready to offer support when it is needed. All parents who responded to Ofsted Parent View agree that their children do well at this school. The school has high expectations of how pupils should behave. This means pupils throughout the school behave well. Older pupils appreciate being role models for the younger pupils. They take this responsibility seriously and aim to set a good example. The school is committed to pupils' personal development. Pupils appreciate the opportunities available to them. They learn to grow vegetables in the school's allotment. Pupils also develop bush craft skills in their own forest school. Experienced pupils lead the school's computer coding club. Pupils benefit from a range of experiences that enhance the curriculum. They see live orchestras, meet authors of books they are reading and visit local farm shops. Pupils also have first-hand scientific experiences. Every week, pupils enjoy singing in the local church.
What the school should improve
- Assessment, in some subjects, is not as precise as it needs to be. Staff do not always pick up on pupils' misconceptions quickly enough. As a result, pupils develop gaps in their learning. The school needs to ensure that staff develop their use of assessment so that they swiftly identify when pupils need further support to ensure gaps in learning are addressed effectively.
