What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 May 2023
Kirkby and Great Broughton Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School is an inclusive school. At the heart of the school's ethos is the desire for pupils to shine. Relationships between pupils and staff are caring and respectful. Pupils, staff, parents and carers are proud of the school. As one parent commented, this is a school 'far bigger in character than it is in size'. Pupils believe in the importance of equality. They talk with enthusiasm about how they have learned about different faiths and cultures. Pupils understand the common features that unite people, as well as appreciating that we are all unique. They support each other in their roles as anti-bullying ambassadors and well-being warriors. Bullying is rare. When it does happen, teachers deal with it quickly. Leaders have high expectations of pupils academically and behaviourally. Pupils understand the school rules of 'be safe, be respectful, be responsible'. This is shown in their mature and sensible attitudes to learning. Pupils are polite and well- mannered. They enjoy coming to school. This includes in the early years, where children play cooperatively with each other.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of wider-curriculum subjects, such as art and history, it is not clear what pupils should have learned by key points in each year. As a result, pupils do not learn as well as they could and develop deep knowledge over time. Leaders should ensure that the curriculum in every subject sets out the precise knowledge that all pupils should know and by when.
- The recording and reporting of concerns about pupils on the online system for child protection is not as rigorous as it needs to be. This means that, although pupils and families are provided with support and help when needed, follow-up actions are sometimes delayed. Leaders, including governors, should ensure that they sharpen how they check all safeguarding incidents so that all actions and subsequent support are timely and effective.
