From the inspection on 22 November 2023

Pupils are sociable and friendly at Hunsley Primary. They greet visitors with a smile and a warm welcome. Leaders have created a positive culture for attendance. Pupils' attendance is high. They enjoy coming to school. The school has high expectations for pupils' learning and behaviour. Pupils benefit from an ambitious curriculum. Adults build nurturing relationships with pupils. Pupils know who they can go to when they have a concern or a worry. They are safe. Parents and carers comment positively on the care their children receive. One parent said, 'The teaching team genuinely care about the pupils, their learning and well-being.' Pupils behave well around school and in lessons. They have positive attitudes towards their learning. Pupils listen to their teachers and respond quickly to instructions. This begins in the early years, where children follow a clear set of routines. Pupils know how to keep themselves safe online and in their local community. Pupils take on responsibilities, including well-being ambassadors, eco-warriors and sports leaders. They are proud of these roles and other pupils know how they make a difference to the school. Many pupils participate in a wide range of extra-curricular activities. These include sporting, dance and choir clubs. Pupils follow their interests and develop their talents. Parents appreciate the range of events on offer for their children.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, the school's systems to check what pupils have learned are not fully developed. This means that the school does not have a secure understanding of how well pupils are learning important knowledge and skills. The school should continue to enhance how it checks how well pupils are learning the intended curriculum.
  • The school does not teach fundamental British values with sufficient clarity. This means that pupils' understanding of British values is underdeveloped. The school should take further action to teach these values more clearly and to deepen pupils' understanding in this area.
