Husbands Bosworth Church of England Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 21 January 2025

Pupils, staff and parents and carers all agree that this is a small school with a big family feel. Relationships are positive. Pupils are inclusive and eager to support one another. The school expects them to achieve highly, both academically and personally. Pupils do their best to live up to this. They know they are expected to be 'Ready, Respectful and Responsible'. These 'three Rs' run consistently through all aspects of the school's life. Pupils behave well. They are helped to understand their feelings and emotions. Poor behaviour is rare. Pupils are eager to earn the different rewards on offer, including raffle tickets and moving up through the rocket system. They look forward to celebrating each other's successes in each Friday's 'Three Rs assembly'. Pupils know that everyone should be treated equally. They do not tolerate any form of discrimination. As one pupil summed up, 'Everyone is welcome here. Everyone is treated the same.' Pupils are proud that their school is seen as a 'Farming School'. They visit a range of different agricultural settings, including arable and dairy farms. They have a rounded understanding of the role that farming plays in the school's heritage, the local community and wider society.

What the school should improve

• The school has not begun to check on how well its recently implemented early years curriculum is working. As such, the school cannot yet be sure that children are learning the curriculum as well as they could. The school should ensure that it checks on how well the early years curriculum is implemented and how well it results in children reaching the milestones it sets out.
• In some subjects, pupils' recall of what they have learned is inconsistent. In some cases, pupils can recall the activities they have completed but not what they have learned from these. This means that pupils do not consistently acquire the content of the curriculum. The school should ensure it continues to embed its curriculum and that it results in pupils consistently knowing and remembering the identified content.
• There are minor weaknesses in the school's safeguarding records. In a small number of cases, they do not show the full range of decisions and follow-up actions the school has taken to keep pupils safe. As a result, in these cases, safeguarding records are incomplete. The school should ensure it consistently records the decisions and actions taken in relation to safeguarding concerns.
