What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 June 2022
Pupils enjoy coming to Intack Primary School. They are proud of their school and embrace the school motto 'proud to belong'. New pupils are welcomed into the school and quickly make friends. Staff build positive relationships with pupils and know them well. This helps pupils to feel safe. Leaders have high expectations of all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils enjoy learning and most achieve well. Pupils listen to staff and follow their instructions. Children in the early years and pupils in the rest of the school follow clear routines. They move sensibly around the school and are considerate of each other. At breaktimes, pupils play nicely together and interact positively with each other and with staff. Pupils told the inspector that when they have a concern about behaviour or bullying, they trust staff to deal with it quickly. Children and pupils take part in regular outdoor learning. The eco-committee help to look after the school grounds by keeping it free from litter. Some pupils have had recent success in an eco-conference competition. They designed and made a skirt from recycled plastic milk bottles and showcased it in the 'trashion' show. These experiences help pupils to appreciate the environment and to become active and responsible citizens.
What the school should improve
- In a minority of subjects, leaders have not clearly identified the essential knowledge that pupils should learn. This means that there are sometimes gaps in pupils' learning. Leaders should clearly identify the key knowledge for pupils to learn from the early years to Year 6 to ensure that pupils know and remember more of their learning.
