What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 October 2023
Pupils enjoy the close-knit community at Harefield Junior. Pupils are kept safe and included here. The school's values of happiness, compassion, respect and teamwork underpin all activities at the school. Pupils enjoy celebrating events from around the world such as Anzac Day, World Culture Day and Black History Month. Staff have high expectations of pupils' behaviour that are consistently applied. Pupils understand and follow routines. This ensures learning is not disrupted and movement around the building is calm and safe. Pupils trust their teachers to listen to them. At breaktimes, pupils are sensible and sociable. They are happy and confident and engage well with each other, members of staff and visitors. Pupils are expected to do their best and achieve well. They work hard and produce work of good quality in different subjects. Pupils are confident in lessons and understand that making mistakes are good learning opportunities. Pupils appreciate the regular enriching cultural experiences they access such as visits to the theatre, museums and galleries.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the important knowledge, skills and vocabulary pupils need to learn have not been precisely identified. This means in these areas, staff do not consistently focus on the most important ideas. As a result, some pupils do not secure the foundational knowledge they need to access more complex learning. The school should identify the key knowledge they want pupils to know and remember across the curriculum.
- The adaptations to tasks and activities made for pupils with SEND are not always effective. This means pupils are not consistently supported to know and remember more of the curriculum over time. The school must ensure that any adaptations reflect pupils' needs and starting points.
