What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 4 May 2023

Honeywell Primary is a welcoming school where pupils feel happy and safe. Adults know children very well and care about them. Staff provide strong pastoral support that builds pupils' confidence and self-esteem. This helps pupils to engage in all aspects of school life. Pupils are polite and respectful. They learn that they need to treat others as they would like to be treated themselves. This learning starts in the early years, where children listen to instructions, understand routines and follow rules. Pupils develop positive attitudes to each other and adults. They behave well in lessons and at other times. Pupils understand what bullying is and trust staff to deal with it quickly when it happens. Leaders have designed an ambitious curriculum that all pupils are expected to study. Teachers encourage all pupils to 'explore, aspire and achieve' so that they reach their full potential. Pupils respond positively to this encouragement and make good progress through the curriculum. Leaders think carefully about ways to broaden pupils' experiences and raise their aspirations. They have organised a programme of opportunities to achieve this. Pupils enjoy attending a broad range of clubs, trips and residential visits that pique their interests and promote their talents.

What the school should improve

  • The school's summative approach to assessing what pupils know and remember is not yet fully established in some subjects. This makes it hard for subject leaders to accurately check the progress that pupils make through the curriculum over time. Leaders should ensure an approach is in place to monitor how well pupils make progress through the curriculum.
  • Some pupils do not attend school regularly enough. This limits their learning. Leaders should continue to work with families to ensure that all pupils attend school regularly.
  • Leaders maintain accurate records of behaviour incidents but do not review patterns and trends in school behaviour over time. This potentially hinders leaders from identifying relevant behaviour management strategies. Leaders should consider ways to analyse patterns and trends in pupils' behaviour.
