What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 12 November 2024

High Green primary school is a welcoming place. Pupils feel safe, happy and supported. They enjoy outdoor learning and the benefits it brings to their well-being. Spaces like the 'woodland', 'secret garden' and 'allotment' are well used. Playtimes are active and fun. Pupils join games or take part in adult-led activities. Older pupils help younger ones, creating a caring community. The school has set high expectations for behaviour and learning. Pupils rise to meet these expectations. When they need reminders about how to behave, they respond well. This creates calm and focused classrooms. Pupils trust staff to help them when needed. Staff check in with all pupils regularly. Well-being is a priority. The school teaches respect and kindness. For example, pupils learn about diversity and discuss important issues in class. Older pupils lead life-skills assemblies. They understand individual rights and healthy relationships. Pupils know how to keep themselves safe in a digital world. Pupils are encouraged to do their best. This includes those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils demonstrate positive attitudes to learning. After previous low outcomes in Year 6, leaders have made effective changes to the curriculum. These changes have resulted in significant improvement to pupils' achievements. The school is working towards a more proactive approach by regularly checking how well the curriculum is helping pupils learn.

What the school should improve

  • The school has not clearly identified the key knowledge and skills that pupils need to learn in some foundation subjects. This limits how pupils' learning can build up step by step over time. The school should ensure that the specific knowledge and skills that pupils need has been consistently identified in all foundation subjects, so that pupils know and remember more over time.
  • While the school carries out checks across the curriculum, some subjects have not been monitored recently. This makes it hard for leaders to quickly assess how well the curriculum is working and whether pupils are making progress. The school should ensure that these checks are carried out in a clear and focused way, so that the information gathered can both celebrate what is working well and help identify areas for improvement in a timely manner.
