What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 28 November 2023

Hook Church of England Primary School is a school at the heart of its community. Staff know the pupils and families well. The school has high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). There is further improvement required for these expectations to be fully realised. Staff expect pupils to behave well. Pupils respond well to these expectations. They behave well in lessons and around school. They are polite, happy and safe. They make visitors feel welcome and are proud of their school. The youngest children listen attentively to their teachers. Pupils insist that bullying is rare. They trust that adults will quickly sort out any problems or worries that they may have. Pupils, including the most disadvantaged, access a wide range of extra-curricular clubs and activities. These take place after school and at lunchtimes and are well attended. Pupils can learn piano and guitar. Older pupils thrive in a range of leadership roles. School councillors have additional responsibilities such as behaviour, outdoor play and PE leaders. Pupils are well prepared to be positive and active citizens.

What the school should improve

  • The implementation of the curriculum is at the early stages in a number of subjects. The knowledge that pupils need to learn is not consistently mapped out in a logical manner. The school should develop the curriculum securely so that pupils can better remember important knowledge.
  • Teachers do not routinely check that pupils are fully secure with prior learning before they move on to new content. This means that pupils do not build on their prior knowledge as well as they should. The school should help teachers to check what pupils' understanding so that misconceptions are quickly addressed before new learning is introduced.
  • Pupils' knowledge of different faiths and cultures is less strong than other aspects of their personal development. Leaders should ensure that teaching enables pupils to broaden their knowledge of different faiths and develop a wider understanding of different cultures.
