What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 November 2022
Leaders are ambitious for all pupils at Hollyfield Primary School. They are committed to ensuring that every pupil achieves well. Pupils are happy, feel safe and enjoy coming to school. However, some pupils do not attend as regularly as they should and are sometimes late. This means that their learning is disrupted and affects how well they achieve. Leaders have planned an ambitious curriculum. Pupils enjoy reading. This is because leaders ensure that reading is taught well. Parents are positive about the quality of education their children receive. Leaders offer pupils a range of trips and visits to broaden their interests. For example, pupils visit a farm to learn about life cycles. They also visit a toy museum to deepen their knowledge of children's play in Victorian times. Older pupils enjoy the 'space sleepover' and Condover Hall residential. Pupils enjoy attending a range of clubs. These include choir, multisport, football, dance and gymnastics. Leaders ensure that pupils engage well when learning in classrooms. Pupils are kind and respectful of one another. They play well together at social times. Rare incidents of bullying are 'nipped in the bud' by leaders. Pupils are confident that staff will resolve any concerns they have.
What the school should improve
- Some pupils do not attend school regularly or on time. This disrupts their learning and
- impacts on how well they achieve. Leaders should strengthen the monitoring of pupils' attendance and punctuality, and work closely with parents so that all pupils attend school regularly and punctually.
- In the early years, staff's planning and expectations of learning in the wider curriculum are not clear enough. On occasion, children lack direction and are unclear about what is expected of them. Leaders should ensure that staff plan for and support children to practise and consolidate their learning when working independently.
- Leaders do not have robust assessment systems in place for foundation subjects. This means that subject leaders do not check how well pupils are achieving in the curriculum. Leaders should support subject leaders to systematically monitor how well pupils are learning, to check that they are making good progress in all subjects.
