What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 March 2023
High Ercall Primary is a highly motivating place for pupils to learn. Pupils love coming to school and attend regularly. They say that the teachers make them feel safe, confident and happy. Leaders expect pupils to behave well. They monitor behaviour carefully. Leaders act quickly to support pupils to make better choices if there are any potential bullying incidents. As a result, pupils' behaviour and attitudes to learning are usually exemplary. Leaders are determined to provide a curriculum that is ambitious for all pupils. In the subjects that have been reviewed by leaders, this ambition is being realised. Staff want pupils to enjoy and be active in their learning, and plan innovative ways to achieve this. For example, on World Book Day, pupils returned in the early evening in pyjamas and with their parents. They drank hot chocolate while teachers read them bedtime stories. Leaders consistently promote and provide extensive high-quality personal development opportunities for all pupils. Pupils experience a wide and rich set of experiences through the curriculum and after-school clubs. For example, they enjoy outward-bound trips. Pupils have participated in a national children's choir and sing at community events.
What the school should improve
- There are a few areas of the curriculum that leaders still need to review to ensure that they are fully sequenced, reflect the school's two-year curriculum cycle and are embedded in practice. As a result, in a few curriculum areas pupils have not had the time yet to use their taught knowledge to make links to the key concepts. Leaders should complete these reviews and ensure that they are consistently embedded in practice.
