What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 October 2022
Pupils at Hopton Primary Academy are proud of their school. They are respectful and enthusiastic about their learning. Pupils feel safe because they know adults are there to help if they have a worry. Pupils say that bullying is rare. If it happens, pupils know that they can tell an adult and it will stop. Pupils play happily together, enjoying the choices that are on offer, like table tennis, the trim trail or the quiet area. Pupils live out the school ethos of 'CARE', (compassion, aspiration, respect, equality and equity), through their thoughts and actions. An example of this was how pupils showed compassion about what was happening in Ukraine and came up with their own fund- raising ideas. There are many opportunities for pupils to take on responsibilities. This includes, for example, becoming a sports leader, a science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) leader or a diversity leader. This makes sure that pupils have a voice that is listened to. The STEM leaders provided exciting opportunities to explore science in action by leading experiments for pupils at lunchtime. There are also a range of clubs and trips that the pupils can take part in which extend and enrich their learning.
What the school should improve
- The curriculum at Hopton Primary Academy is still evolving. Some teachers are building their knowledge of how best to teach the newly developed curriculum areas. Where teachers are less confident, pupils' learning is not always maximised. Leaders should continue to provide teachers with guidance and support, so that they can teach the curriculum equally effectively in all subjects.
