What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 November 2023
Pupils behave exceptionally well at Hambrook Primary School. They show exemplary attitudes to their learning. The school has high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Pupils trust adults to listen to them and support them if they are worried about anything. Hambrook is an inclusive and welcoming school. The caring relationships in the school mean that pupils feel safe and happy. Pupils respond to each other with kindness and respect. They understand the importance of looking after each other and being kind as a part of the 'Hambrook family'. The school's vision runs through the curriculum, which is ambitious and is designed to develop pupils' curiosity about the world and empathy for others. Pupils enjoy opportunities to take on leadership responsibilities across the school. They say that these roles make them feel proud, help them to set a positive example to others and make the school better. The school sees supporting pupils' mental health and well-being as a high priority, and pupils engage in many high- quality opportunities such as forest school, OPAL play and meditation lessons. Pupils value meditation sessions as 'it helps you to manage your worries and stay calm'.
What the school should improve
- In some wider curriculum subjects, the school has not yet precisely identified the important knowledge that pupils need to learn and remember. This means that pupils do not always build their knowledge well over time. The school needs to ensure that all subjects identify the knowledge that pupils must learn and when.
- Assessment is not used with enough precision to check what pupils know and remember. As a result, some pupils do not remember important learning over time and misconceptions are not addressed. This slows their progress through the curriculum. The school needs to ensure that assessment is used effectively to understand what pupils know and can do and that learning is adapted as necessary.
