What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 April 2023
Pupils are happy to attend John Wycliffe Primary School. It is an inclusive school. Pupils readily work and play together. The school values encourage all pupils to aspire to 'be brilliant'. Teachers have high expectations for what pupils can achieve. Pupils try hard in lessons. They take pride in their achievements. Pupils enjoy the rewards they get when they do well. In lessons, pupils behave well. Disruptions to learning are very rare. Classrooms and corridors are calm. Pupils say that they feel safe at the school. They say that bullying is very rare. Pupils know whom they can talk to if they are worried about anything. They trust that teachers and other adults will help them. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) thrive in the same learning activities as the other pupils. Leaders know these pupils well. Leaders help teachers to provide extra support when pupils need it. Many pupils attend clubs during and after school that cater for a wide range of interests, such as coding, laser tag, crafts and sports. Pupils are proud to take on roles of responsibility, such as being sports or well-being ambassadors.
What the school should improve
- In some lessons, teachers do not provide activities that are sharply focused on the knowledge that they want pupils to learn. When this happens, some pupils become disengaged and do not learn as well as they could. Sometimes, pupils' misconceptions are not effectively addressed. Teachers need to ensure that lessons are directed at supporting pupils to learn the knowledge in the planned curriculum.
- There is a curriculum in place to support pupils' wider personal development. However, leaders do not ensure that all pupils gain an age-appropriate understanding of some important aspects of PSHE. Some pupils do not have a deep enough understanding of important topics such as British values. Leaders need to make sure that the curriculum supports pupils to be well prepared for their next steps in education and beyond.
