What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 February 2023
Pupils make a great start to their education at Harlow Green Community Primary School. Their experience matches the school's vision of 'growing happy, healthy and successful, together'. All pupils receive a warm welcome and are quick to settle into routines. They play happily and enjoy their learning in lessons, in clubs and in forest school. Pupils feel safe. They know when to ask staff for help. Staff know pupils well. They take time to listen and are quick to deal with any issues. Bullying is extremely rare. Pupils learn how to respect each other's feelings. They behave well in all areas of the school. Leaders and staff are ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils have appropriate support to ensure that they are ready to learn. This includes support for their mental health from trained staff and visiting specialists. Pupils learn how to stay physically healthy and enjoy a wide range of sporting opportunities. The COVID-19 pandemic led to gaps in pupils' mathematical knowledge. In some year groups, these gaps remain. These year groups are receiving extra tuition which is helping them catch up. Aside from these gaps, pupils have a secure knowledge of the curriculum. They show considerable understanding of what they have learned.
What the school should improve
- Some pupils in Years 3 and 4 have gaps in their mathematics knowledge. They struggle to remember what they have been taught. This is because they require more opportunities to embed their learning by solving problems. Leaders should continue to ensure that problem-solving is a regular feature for all pupils in mathematics lessons and continue their efforts to make sure pupils with gaps in their knowledge catch up.
