What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 27 June 2023
Pupils thrive at Hucknall National. Pupils and adults exemplify the school's Christian values. They have caring and respectful relationships. Pupils behave well and trust adults to help them with any problems they might have. Pupils are well prepared for the next stage in their education. As one parent said: 'The staff have a genuine desire to see pupils be the best they can be.' Leaders and teachers have high aspirations for all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils work hard in lessons and achieve well. All pupils are taught a broad and balanced curriculum. Most curriculum subjects are clearly planned. In some of the foundation subjects, the curriculum is not as precisely planned. Pupils speak enthusiastically about the many trips and experiences that help their learning. Leaders place great emphasis on pupils' wider development. Pupils enjoy a variety of extra-curricular clubs and activities, including football, choir and dodgeball. Every child has the opportunity to play an instrument and learn to read music. Pupils have responsibilities, including as members of the pupil parliament and as sports ambassadors. Pupils know how to be a good citizen and are celebrated as being a 'Hucknall Hero'.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, leaders have not broken down the most important knowledge that they want pupils to know into precise small steps. In these subjects, teachers are not as clear about what pupils are required to know and remember. Leaders should ensure that the long-term aims of the curriculum are broken down into small steps and that these are used by teachers to deliver effective lessons.
- In some foundation subjects, teachers do not check what children know and can do. As a result, they cannot identify where pupils may have gaps in their learning. Leaders must ensure that teachers use assessment effectively in all subjects to inform future planning and teaching.
