What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 22 March 2023

Leaders want the best for all pupils at Hall Green Primary School. Pupils are happy and safe. They live the school's ethos of 'chance to shine'. Pupils learn to read well. They enjoy coming to school. Leaders set high expectations for pupils' behaviour and pupils frequently meet these. As a result, the school is calm and orderly. Pupils behave well. They know that they can share any concerns or worries with trusted adults. Leaders make sure that any incidents of bullying are taken seriously and are resolved, so they do not happen again. Pupils have a range of opportunities to develop their talents and interests. For instance, they can attend a range of clubs, including sewing club, science club and sports clubs. All pupils learn to play a musical instrument and take part in a residential trip. Pupils relish the challenge of taking part in reading and sports competitions. Parents are extremely positive about the school and the quality of education their children receive. Some pupils do not attend school as regularly as they could, particularly some disadvantaged pupils. This means that they miss out on important learning, which impacts on how well they achieve in school.

What the school should improve

  • Some pupils, including some disadvantaged pupils, do not attend school regularly. This means that gaps in pupils' learning emerge, and they do not learn the curriculum as well as they could. Leaders should ensure that they identify key barriers to pupils not attending and work effectively with affected families to ensure pupils attend school regularly.
  • In a few subjects, pupils do not learn the curriculum in the right order. Pupils' learning in these subjects, therefore, does not build on what they already know and pupils do not learn as well as they could. Leaders should ensure that the order in which pupils learn the curriculum is clear.
  • A few pupils with SEND have fallen behind in their reading. This is because they have not received timely speech and language support to help them pronounce sounds in words clearly. Where this is the case, it impacts negatively on the progress pupils make in their reading. Leaders should ensure that pupils receive timely support, so they are able to read with confidence and fluency.
