What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 November 2023
Pupils love attending Holne Chase Primary. The school's bright and welcoming environment is carefully considered to capture pupils' interests. A deep moral purpose underpins all that happens at this school. Adults are passionate that all pupils receive high-quality provision that gives them the skills they need for the future. As a result, pupils are well prepared for life beyond the school. Pupils relish the range of opportunities the school provides. Pupils say they go on the best trips and 'have a blast'. Leaders plan these carefully, including other experiences such as a recent Shakespeare theatre workshop or geography fieldtrips, to bring the curriculum to life. Clubs such as art and craft, music and choir are well attended. Strong relationships are evident across the school. Staff model positive behaviours, and pupils mirror these in their actions. Pupils have a clear understanding of right and wrong. They learn that 'two wrongs don't make a right'. Playtimes are busy with lots to do, and pupils share equipment nicely. Pupils report that unkindness can occur but are confident adults will help them resolve any issues. This builds a harmonious community where pupils are safe and well cared for. Parents are overwhelmingly positive about leaders' work. One, summing up the views of many, describes the school as a 'safe pair of hands'.
What the school should improve
- Assessment expectations across the foundation subjects are not yet fully established. As a result, teachers are not routinely checking to ensure pupils can recall all knowledge over the long term. The school needs to ensure assessment is used well to identify gaps so they can be addressed quickly and effectively.
- The school's high expectations for pupils' behaviour are not applied consistently throughout. As a result, pupils can become distracted and not achieve as well as they could. The school should ensure its high expectations are consistently applied by all so that no learning time is lost.
