What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 June 2024
Hogsthorpe Primary Academy is an inclusive school where pupils get the opportunity to shine. It is a welcoming place, and pupils are very supportive of each other. One pupil echoed the views of many when they stated, 'We look out for each other.' Older pupils act as positive role models to younger pupils. The school is proud to be at the heart of the community. The school is ambitious for all pupils. Most pupils achieve well. Pupils know the school's values and demonstrate them in abundance. They show kindness to each other and recognise the need to be respectful. Pupils' behaviour is calm and purposeful. They feel happy and safe. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well supported throughout the school. Staff show complete dedication to ensuring that all pupils are able to access the curriculum. The school provides opportunities for pupils to be involved with clubs and activities beyond the classroom. Pupils talk positively about the clubs that they attend. These include sports, art, games and drama club. Pupils are also given the opportunity to work with the Royal Opera House and devise their own performances.
What the school should improve
- The school has not ensured that some staff in the early years have the expertise to design learning activities that build on what children know and can do already. This means that some children in the early years are not as well prepared for key stage 1 as they should be. The school should ensure that it provides staff with suitable guidance so that they can deliver the curriculum consistently well across the early years.
- Some pupils do not attend school as often as they should. Therefore, these pupils miss out on accessing the good quality of education that the school provides, including the extra-curricular offer. The school should ensure that strategies to reduce absence are sustainable and able to change the culture of attendance for pupils.
