What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 14 February 2023

Staff at Hartburn Primary School foster the 'Hartburn Hopes' of respect, honesty, resilience, compassion, ambition and courage. Pupils know that these values help them to make the right choices and to do the right thing. Pupils behave well. They move around school in a calm manner. They respond quickly to instructions from adults to maximise the time spent learning. Pupils understand the school's behaviour policy. They know what bullying is. They trust that adults will sort it out if it happens. Leaders nurture the talents and interests of pupils through an extensive range of extra- curricular activities. Pupils enjoy participating in the Friday 'live lounge', where they can practise and demonstrate their performance skills. Leaders ensure that pupils have opportunities to take on roles such as a playground friend, sports leader, digital leader or eco-warrior to develop their leadership skills. Pupils can also be reading buddies or learning mentors to support younger pupils. Leaders encourage pupils to be agents for change in school, in the locality and globally. For example, pupils learn about critical issues around the world, such as lack of access to clean water and what it means to be a refugee. Pupils confidently discuss equality and protected characteristics. They know it is important 'to be whoever you want to be.'

What the school should improve

  • Leaders have identified too much content or 'big ideas' that they want pupils to access in some subjects in the wider curriculum. This means pupils do not have sufficient time to learn this knowledge in sufficient depth. Leaders need to prioritise the most important concepts they want pupils to learn, from the early years onwards, to help pupils build knowledge securely over time.
  • The system for checking pupils' knowledge and understanding in the foundation subjects is not used to consistent effect. Leaders should ensure that the procedures for checking what pupils have learned are used well by all staff.
