What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 January 2023
Hindley Green Community Primary School is a nurturing school where leaders and staff care passionately about the whole community. The school's values thread through all aspects of school life. Pupils, and children in the early years, are kind and polite. They feel safe and they enjoy coming to school. If pupils need help when they are upset, staff provide effective support. Leaders and staff are effective role models and have high expectations for pupils. As a result, pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), rise to these expectations and behave well around the school and in lessons. Pupils are curious and keen to learn and they achieve well. Lessons are rarely disrupted due to behaviour. Pupils say that bullying is extremely rare. Where reports of bullying occur, they are taken seriously by school leaders and investigated thoroughly. Pupils enjoy the extra responsibilities that leaders give them, such as being part of the school council, and acting as reading ambassadors or classroom monitors. They are looking forward to trips to Winmarleigh and London. Pupils enjoy taking part in lots of different clubs, including coding, dance and steel pans club. They also enjoy looking after the school chickens.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, teachers do not revisit key knowledge with enough frequency or afford pupils sufficient opportunity to recall earlier learning. This means that pupils sometimes do not remember some aspects of the curriculum sufficiently well. Leaders should make sure that teachers revisit essential parts of the curriculum so that pupils embed this essential knowledge into their long-term memory.
