What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 17 January 2023

Leaders at Hurst Green Primary School have high expectations of all pupils. They have created a culture where pupils are nurtured, feel safe and achieve well. Pupils wear their uniforms with pride. They demonstrate the school principles of 'be ready, respectful, responsible and safe'. These values are embedded into school life and pupils say that 'this is just part of our learning'. Staff know pupils well. Pupils say that their teachers are caring and help them to learn well. Pupils love coming to school. They behave well. Pupils say, 'This school is amazing! The adults are really kind to us here.' Pupils say that bullying is rare. Adults deal with bullying effectively if it should happen. Pupils understand that not everyone is the same. They know this should not make a difference to how they treat each other. Pupils respect each other and explain that 'if someone is upset, we help them to be happy'. Pupils have opportunities to take part in a range of student leadership opportunities. Some are involved in decision-making as part of the school council. Others work as digital leaders teaching other pupils about keeping safe online.

What the school should improve

  • Leaders are not always checking the right things through their monitoring activities. For example, sometimes the vocabulary that is used in lessons does not match the planned curriculum. Therefore, pupils are not always learning the correct information for the topic being taught. Leaders need to ensure that they carefully monitor the implementation of the curriculum to ensure that it matches what it being taught in lessons.
