What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 November 2023
There is a strong sense of community at Kings Langley Primary School. Pupils are proud to be part of the school family. They trust the adults to sort out any problems or worries that occasionally arise. This leads to pupils feeling happy and safe here. Pupils are friendly. They behave well around the school, at work and during play. They strive to meet adults' high expectations. Pupils are motivated by the 'star awards' system. This recognises pupils who show the school's values of hard work, respect, honesty, willingness to try, good manners, acceptance, teamwork, and perseverance. Older pupils develop leadership skills through special roles. They can be sports leaders, reading buddies, eco-warriors, school councillors, or peer mentors. Pupils pursue new interests at clubs such as chess, knitting or art club. Physical activity has a high profile. Pupils participate in a variety of competitive sporting activities, often with success. Pupils go on trips that enhance their learning and broaden their horizons. For example, pupils visit places of worship, museums, and sports venues. The curriculum is enriched further by themed days, weeks or months. These include the International Day of Peace, recycling week and Black History Month.
What the school should improve
- Subject leaders' oversight of the effectiveness of the curriculum could be stronger. The checks subject leaders carry out do not always identify areas for improvement that will enable pupils to progress well through the curriculum. The school should ensure that all subject leaders carry out a range of checks on the curriculum so that any improvements can be identified and made.
