What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 October 2022
Pupils are happy at Ingham Primary School. They enjoy coming to school and have positive relationships with one another and staff. Pupils are polite, confident and friendly when talking to visitors. One girl said, 'Everyone is friends at our school.' Leaders have high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Teachers support pupils to become fluent readers and to develop their knowledge of mathematics. Teachers in the Reception class prepare children for the next stage of their education. Behaviour in lessons is calm. Children in the Reception class learn about how to behave and how to look after themselves. Older pupils behave well. Pupils do not worry about bullying. Adults deal with the rare instances of poor behaviour and bullying that do occur. Pupils say that they feel safe. They benefit from support and care from teachers who know them well. Leaders work hard to provide pupils with wider opportunities. Pupils broaden their horizons and develop their social skills through trips to Boggle Hole and the Holocaust Museum. Girls and boys join in with a joint netball and football club. Some pupils recently attended the filming of a 'Blue Peter Strictly Come Dancing' special.
What the school should improve
- Teachers' checks on what pupils do and do not know in some of the foundation subjects are new. They do not yet check pupils' understanding of the personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education topics they have studied. This means teachers are not always aware of the precise gaps in pupils' knowledge, or of pupils' misconceptions. Leaders should ensure that teachers understand how best to check exactly what pupils understand so that they can adapt their teaching to address any misconceptions or any gaps in pupils' knowledge.
- Leaders have been proactive in introducing strategies to improve pupils' experiences of school. Leaders do not yet have a precise enough strategic oversight of the school. They are not fully aware of the impact that their strategies to bring about further improvement are having. Consequently, they do not routinely refine strategies when this is appropriate. Leaders should ensure that they have a thorough understanding of all aspects of the provision and the work being undertaken to bring about further development, so that they know how well such strategies are working and can refine and adapt them as the need arises.
