What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 May 2023
Hanbury's Farm Primary is a friendly and welcoming school. All staff are determined to make sure pupils are 'growing and succeeding together'. There are caring and respectful relationships between pupils and adults. Pupils know that staff care about their mental health and well-being, as well as their learning. Pupils trust the adults to deal with any worries or concerns. This makes them feel safe. Leaders have high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils work hard and typically achieve well. Pupils behave exceptionally well. They are polite to visitors and to each other. Classrooms are calm places to learn, where pupils do not disrupt each other's learning. The playground is a lively, happy place, where pupils look after each other and have fun together. Pupils can attend a range of clubs and have opportunities to go on trips, such as to museums to see artefacts from the periods of history they are studying. They also enjoy residential visits. Pupils say that these experiences help them to become more confident. Parents and carers appreciate that they are fully involved in the life of the school. They are able to attend workshops and events, so they can support their child's learning at home.
What the school should improve
- Leaders' work to improve pupils' attendance has not secured high enough attendance rates for all pupils. Some pupils miss too much school and learning. Leaders should continue to develop their work with families and external agencies to address persistent absence.
- Leaders have not planned enough opportunities for pupils to engage with other cultures and faiths. Pupils do not have a secure understanding about the breadth of different cultures and faiths in modern Britain. Leaders should ensure that the curriculum contains opportunities for pupils to experience other cultures and faiths, so they have a deeper understanding of different cultures and world religions.
