What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 October 2022
Pupils at Hythe Primary say, 'we're one big family'. The warm and nurturing relationships between staff and pupils are a key feature of this school. The values of 'include, inspire and invest' create a tangible ethos of inclusivity. There is a calm atmosphere around the school. Pupils play and work happily together. They are enthusiastic and look forward to their lessons. Pupils are keen to learn and listen carefully. They show genuine care and respect for each other. Pupils are happy and safe. Incidents of bullying are not tolerated by anyone. Pupils know who they can talk to if they are worried and know how to seek help if they need it. Staff work closely with pupils to resolve any issues quickly. Pupils enjoy the range of trips and experiences that help them learn in different ways, such as the Year 4 trip to the Living Rainforest. All pupils are proud to take on positions of responsibility. There is a palpable excitement across the school for the upcoming elections for the mini parliament. Pupils engage well with community projects and charity fundraising. For example, they collect food for the local foodbank and raise funds for community homeless shelters.
What the school should improve
- Subject planning is newer in some subjects than others. This means that sometimes pupils do not have the essential knowledge they need to make sense of new learning. Leaders should ensure that older pupils' gaps in knowledge are appropriately filled when encountering new learning in these subjects.
- Policies for addressing persistent absence lack precision. As a result, staff do not deal with it in a timely manner. Leaders should continue their work to review these policies and strengthen their work with families to reduce persistent absence rates.
