What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 5 June 2024

Hawksworth Church of England Primary School is a warm and welcoming place. Staff and pupils describe it as 'one big family'. The relationships between staff and pupils are a strength. This helps to contribute to the calm and purposeful atmosphere across the school. Pupils treat each other with kindness. Bullying is very rare. The school has designed a curriculum that has been personalised to its context and pupils. Leaders have identified precisely what they want pupils to learn across mixed-aged classes. As a result, pupils get off to a strong start in the early years and then their learning builds and grows as they move through the school. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), who are supported by staff who know them well. Pupils' wider personal development is a sharp focus for the school. It stems from the school's distinct Christian ethos. Pupils learn important knowledge through both collective worship and the personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education curriculum. This prepares them well for life in modern Britain. Pupils take an active role in their local community. They raise money for good causes, such as the Leeds Children's Hospital and the Royal British Legion.

What the school should improve

  • A small number of pupils have gaps in their arithmetic knowledge. Consequently, they are not as well prepared for future learning in mathematics. Recently, some older pupils have not achieved as well as they could in mathematics, at the end of key stage 2 national assessments. The school must continue to implement its plans to improve the mathematics curriculum to ensure that all pupils achieve their potential by the end of key stage 2.
