What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 30 January 2024
Ings Farm Primary school is a happy and thriving community. Pupils enjoy coming to school. They show great interest in their learning. Pupils benefit from a range of rich experiences, inside and beyond the classroom. The school provides parents with many opportunities to share in the achievements of their children. During the inspection, very many parents came into school to enjoy a vibrant mathematics event alongside their children. The school has high expectations of pupils. Pupils strive to meet these standards. The curriculum prepares pupils effectively for the next steps in their education. Children in the early years are particularly well prepared for Year 1. Pupils in Year 6 have the right knowledge and skills to make the transition to secondary school. The school motto of 'our personal best' is understood throughout the school. It is used to encourage achievement and good conduct. Pupils behave well at school. They are respectful towards one another. They understand how to be kind and considerate. If there are any disagreements, pupils trust adults to quickly put things right. The curriculum for personal development is effective in teaching pupils to keep themselves safe and healthy.
What the school should improve
- There is an inconsistent approach to assessment in some curriculum subjects. Teachers do not routinely and systematically check what pupils know and understand. This means that some pupils do not receive prompt feedback to check and correct any misconceptions. The school should continue to work on implementing formative assessment strategies to provide pupils with clear and timely feedback.
