What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 27 June 2023
Heathlands Primary Academy's values thread through everything the school does. Pupils know they are expected to persevere, achieve and cooperate while being responsible, respectful and resilient. They live up to these expectations. Pupils told inspectors that everyone is welcome here. They celebrate differences and understand the importance of equality and acceptance. In lessons and during playtimes, pupils behave well and demonstrate positive attitudes to their work. Learning in lessons is rarely disrupted. However, some pupils do not attend school regularly and they miss out on important learning. Pupils understand what bullying is, but say it is rare. They have absolute trust in staff to resolve any poor behaviour quickly. Pupils are safe and happy. Staff care for all pupils effectively and are highly skilled at supporting pupils when they need help. All adults have high expectations of what pupils can achieve and are ambitious for all. Pupils find the curriculum exciting and they thoroughly enjoy their learning. Teachers go above and beyond to provide pupils with rich learning experiences, both in and out of the classroom. Pupils benefit from these experiences and achieve well.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, teachers have not identified the exact detail of what pupils need to know. This means that pupils are not achieving as well as they could in these subjects. Leaders need to ensure that teachers identify the precise knowledge pupils need to learn across all subjects as well as they do in English and mathematics.
- A significant minority of pupils are regularly absent from school. As a result, they are missing out on important learning and are not achieving as well as they could. Leaders should identify more effective strategies in their work with parents and carers to reduce levels of absence and persistent absence, so that all pupils attend school regularly.
