What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 March 2024
Pupils are proud to belong at Hunts Grove Primary. They describe with enthusiasm how everyone works hard to 'be the best we can be'. Expectations are high. Pupils learn how to become responsible young people. They take on extra roles within school, such being a 'restorative star' or becoming an associate board member. Pupils appreciate how caring and considerate staff are in helping them to learn how to behave appropriately. They describe a respectful atmosphere, which widely celebrates when pupils get things right and quietly supports when they get something wrong. A real strength is how the school helps pupils, including disadvantaged pupils, to become avid, successful young readers. Reading really is at the heart of the curriculum. Pupils talk enthusiastically about the authors and books they enjoy. Class reading time is a highlight of the day. Pupils are excited about the unseen stories they will read throughout the year. As a result of this strong reading culture, pupils achieve well and are ready for their next steps.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, aspects of the curriculum are not embedded. Where this is the case, pupils do not gain a deep understanding of key disciplinary knowledge. The school and trust need to continue with the development of the curriculum across foundation subjects.
- The school does not have a clear oversight of the impact of their work to improve pupils' attendance. As a result, the school cannot assure itself that the most effective actions are in place to improve attendance for some pupils. The school and trust need to ensure that there is a strong understanding of the impact of their strategy to improve attendance.
