What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 February 2023

Pupils feel happy and safe at Holy Trinity CofE Primary School. They said this is a school where everyone is welcoming and friendly. Pupils settle into school quickly and make lots of friends. The core values of family, respect and encouragement are at the heart of the school's work. Pupils behave consistently well. Leaders have high expectations of behaviour and learning for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are highly focused on their learning. This includes children in the early years, where children listen attentively and follow familiar routines. Pupils achieve well. Pupils said that staff are caring and look after them well. There is very little bullying or unkind name-calling. Leaders do not tolerate it; any incidents of bullying or poor behaviour are dealt with swiftly and effectively. Pupils have great trust in staff. Inclusion is a high priority. Leaders want pupils to broaden their horizons through the rich set of experiences the school has to offer. For example, pupils take part in visits and trips to places of local, historical and religious importance. Pupils spoke with relish about their trip to Portland Basin to learn about Lancashire's cotton industry and their visit to a Buddhist centre to learn about a different faith.

What the school should improve

  • Not all subject curriculums identify the precise knowledge, skills and vocabulary that subject leaders want pupils to learn, including children in the early years. This means that teachers do not have the information that they need to ensure that pupils know and remember more over time. Leaders should ensure that subject leaders finalise their curriculum thinking and ensure that teachers are clear about the knowledge that pupils should learn.
  • In some subjects, subject leaders have not defined the end-points of learning that they want pupils to reach. As a result, teachers are unclear about what learning pupils may need to revisit and may move on before new learning is secure. Subject leaders should clearly define the end-points of learning in these subjects.
