What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 February 2025
Staff at Keresley Grange Primary School work hard to ensure that all pupils feel safe, listened to and appreciated. New pupils settle quickly into school life. Pupils talk positively about learning new things. They work hard and achieve well. The values of 'respect ourselves, respect each other and respect the school' underpin the school's approach to supporting and educating its pupils. These values are well understood and demonstrated by everyone. Pupils like that the school celebrates their uniqueness. They are taught to appreciate and respect difference, and they do. Pupils have a good understanding of the school's expectations for their behaviour and attendance. They attend well and behave well in lessons and around school. Staff help those pupils who need extra support to get better at coping when things go wrong. The school makes every effort to find out about their pupils' personal talents and ambitions so that they can help them to flourish. Pupils talk positively about having opportunities to develop their creative skills. Some enjoy learning to play a musical instrument, such as the keyboard or the ukulele, while others develop their sporting or artistic talents.
What the school should improve
- The teaching of some aspects of the curriculum is inconsistent. This means that some pupils lose focus in lessons and do not achieve as well as they should, including pupils with SEND. The school should ensure that teachers have the necessary expertise to teach all parts of the curriculum effectively.
- Sometimes, teachers do not identify the errors in pupils' writing, including their handwriting. Therefore, pupils do not consistently receive the help they need about how they can improve or develop their writing. The school needs to ensure that teachers consistently provide pupils with the guidance they need to develop their writing so that the writing that pupils produce is the best they are capable of.
