What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 June 2023
Pupils at Houndsfield Primary school feel happy and are kept safe. This is because they trust their teachers and learn to respect one another. Pupils understand and embody the school rules and values. Behaviour around the school is calm and purposeful. Staff expect, recognise and reward positive behaviour, such as being kind. Staff have high expectations for pupils' learning. Pupils work hard as it is expected of them. A love of reading exists across the school. Pupils benefit from regular opportunities to read with adults. They are also encouraged to read regularly with their parents and carers at home. Pupils produce work of good quality in different subjects and are well prepared for the next stage of their education. Pupils access a range of enriching activities and cultural experiences. For example, pupils visit different places of worship, museums and art galleries. They enjoy singing assemblies and learn musical instruments, such as the ukulele and drums. They learn to keep themselves safe and healthy through a carefully thought-through programme of activities, visits and workshops.
What the school should improve
- Adaptations for some pupils with SEND are not consistently well implemented. As a result, these pupils are not as well supported as they could be to deepen their understanding in different subjects. Leaders should ensure that teachers and support staff are appropriately trained and supported to make appropriate adaptations and ensure that pupils with SEND consistently receive the help they need to learn and remember more.
- While some teachers develop pupils' language with precision, this is not consistent. This means some pupils do not develop as deep an understanding in different subjects. Leaders should ensure that teachers provide sufficient opportunity for pupils to learn, practise and apply the subject-specific vocabulary that has been identified in each subject.
