What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 April 2023
Pupils enjoy attending Kings Heath Primary School. There is plenty on offer for everyone. Leaders have high ambitions for all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). From knitting club to residential trips, there are opportunities for pupils to develop their interests and build character. Pupils also enjoy taking on leadership roles in school, such as peer mentors and anti-bullying ambassadors. Pupils vote for school councillors. These opportunities help pupils to have a voice in school life. Pupils value making their own decisions about what they wear to school. They say this helps them to show their personalities. Pupils know that the adults in school keep them safe. There are strong, caring relationships between staff and pupils. Pupils say that there is always someone to talk to if they have a worry. Pupils are respectful of each other and understand difference, for example different types of families. Pupils behave well around school and in lessons. In less formal times of the day, they follow routines and listen carefully to instructions. Pupils are energetic at social times; there is plenty for pupils to do, and nobody is left out. Parents speak highly of the school, leaders and staff.
What the school should improve
- There have been many recent changes to the curriculum. Some subjects are more developed than others. Leaders should continue to embed changes and check that all staff fully understand curriculum expectations so that they can deliver and implement what leaders intend effectively across the curriculum.
- Leaders do not analyse some of the information they collect about different aspects of their work with sufficient focus. As a result, they do not always identify patterns or trends, which they can then address. Leaders at all levels should ensure that there is a strategic, analytical use of information in order to evaluate proactively the impact of what they have done and identify what to do next, across all aspects of provision.
