What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 March 2024
Pupils are proud to attend Kirk Langley Church of England Primary School. They embrace being part of a small, caring community where adults know them well and help them 'to shine'. Pupils behave exceptionally well. They are polite and respectful to each other. It is rare for pupils to fall out but if this happens, adults support pupils to sort things out quickly. The school has high expectations for pupils. The curriculum continues to be developed in some subjects. Teachers want pupils to understand what life was like in the past and how this shapes their life today. In lessons, pupils work very hard. They are curious and eager to learn. Pupils take pride in holding leadership roles such as school councillors, eco leaders and treasurers. They feel their views are listened to and they make a difference to school life. The introduction of blazers was decided by the pupils themselves who wanted to look smarter and feel prepared for secondary education. Pupils experience a range of educational visits and have visitors into school. These support their development and learning and include residentials to develop independence and teamwork. Pupils value the times when the school joins together in worship and prayer.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, what pupils need to know has not been identified precisely. When this is the case, pupils' knowledge of these subjects is not secure and does not prepare them for subsequent learning. The school needs to ensure that there is a well-planned curriculum in place for all subjects.
- The systems for identifying pupils with SEND and their individual needs are not precise enough. As a result, some pupils do not receive the required support they need to access the curriculum. Leaders should ensure that systems for identifying pupils' needs are in place and that all staff have the expertise to recognise when a pupil may need further support due to their special educational needs.
