What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 20 June 2023
There is a warm and welcoming feel to Hanslope Primary School. Pupils greet visitors eagerly and with enthusiasm, keen to share the work they are doing in class. Pupils are articulate and enjoy their learning from Reception through to Year 6. They say that this is a kind school. You can see this through the positive relationships and interactions between pupils and staff. Leaders have created a culture where pupils work exceptionally hard and behave impeccably well. Adults have incredibly high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). There are a wide range of opportunities for pupils to develop their interests and skills. Many pupils enjoy taking part in the school production, for example. The positive and warm relationships between the pupils means there are very few incidents of bullying in the school. If it were to happen, then pupils feel assured it would be dealt with quickly by staff. Older pupils show care and compassion to the younger pupils. They love spending time reading together. Across the social times, such as breaktimes and lunchtimes, pupils play incredibly well together.
What the school should improve
- Across some foundation subjects, there are inconsistencies in what leaders have identified as being the most important knowledge for pupils to learn. As a result, there are some gaps in pupils' understanding and vocabulary in these subjects. Leaders should ensure that planning is consistently detailed across all subjects so that pupils remember and build on their prior learning.
- Ways of checking how well pupils have understood and remembered essential knowledge are not fully in place. Consequently, teachers sometimes do not know precisely which areas of the curriculum pupils need to revisit. Leaders should ensure that assessments enable teachers to quickly identify, and then address, gaps in knowledge so that pupils can learn the intended curriculum consistently well.
