What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 23 April 2024

Pupils are proud to attend Hunslet Moor Primary School. They say that adults are kind and keep them safe. Pupils enjoy their lessons and the wider opportunities the school creates, such as clubs, trips to the farm and special events like pyjama day. They appreciate the opportunity to have a free breakfast every day. Staff have created a caring and nurturing environment for all pupils. They provide effective support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils talk positively about the help that they get from adults. Leaders have established high expectations of pupils' behaviour. These are commonly understood by pupils and staff. Pupils behave well in class and around school. The school has developed effective systems to secure good behaviour. Bullying is rare and is dealt with effectively by adults. Pupils are highly motivated to collect 'dream points' as a reward for positive behaviour. The school is ambitious to provide a high-quality education, but this is not fully realised across the wider curriculum. The school knows what needs to improve and this work has begun. Some areas of the curriculum lack depth and are not precisely sequenced. This means in these subjects pupils do not build upon their learning as well. This limits how well they can deepen their understanding over time.

What the school should improve

  • In some foundation subjects, the school's curriculum does not identify the precise knowledge and concepts that leaders intend pupils to learn. Learning is limited to the recall of simple knowledge. In these subjects, pupils do not make links between learning over time. They do not apply what they already know to support them to draw conclusions. The school must ensure that the curriculum in foundation subjects builds on prior learning, so that pupils go beyond recalling facts and develop a deep body of knowledge in all subjects.
