What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 March 2025
Keyworth Primary and Nursery is a happy school that takes good care of its pupils. Relationships between adults and pupils are consistently positive. Pupils are listened to and understood. They feel valued. The school is determined to 'unlock every child's potential'. It does this successfully. Over time, pupils achieve well. They are well prepared for the next stage of their education and for life in modern Britain. Pupils behave well. The 'Keyworth Code' makes clear what is expected of pupils, and they strive to show good manners and respect, follow instructions, and show care for everyone and everything. Pupils value the rewards that they can earn, including being nominated for the 'Golden Egg' assembly and receiving 'above and beyond' awards. Pupils who need help to live up to the school's expectations get the support that they need. Pupils are fiercely proud of the many important roles that they take on. They speak confidently about their jobs as well-being officers, sports leaders, librarians and digital leaders, to mention but a few. They wear their badges with pride. Pupils appreciate the wide range of extra-curricular activities on offer. The school makes sure that all pupils are able to join in with these. The knitting club is especially popular.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the curriculum does not identify the most important content that pupils are expected to know and remember. As a result, in these subjects, there are some minor inconsistencies in how well pupils learn and remember content. The school should ensure that the curriculum, across all subjects, consistently makes clear the most important content that pupils are expected to know and remember.
- In a small number of cases, safeguarding records do not fully document the actions and decisions that the school has taken to keep pupils safe. This reduces the school's ability to check on the impact that its' actions have over time. The school should ensure that records fully document the steps and decisions that have been taken in relation to safeguarding.
