What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 September 2023
At Kitwell Primary School, pupils' well-being is at the heart of everything that happens. The school has high ambitions for every pupil, including disadvantaged pupils and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff want all children to flourish. On the whole, these aims are realised. Pupils at this school display positive behaviours. They are welcoming, friendly and curious. Pupils enjoy learning and coming to school. Relationships between adults and pupils are warm and respectful. Staff know their pupils very well, and use this information to intervene before an issue arises. Pupils say that all staff care about them and are confident that staff will deal with any issues quickly and effectively. The school places great emphasis on pupils' personal development. Pupils benefit from an impressive range of activities that develop their character and raise their aspirations. The many activities include external visitors, trips, residential visits and after-school clubs. Pupils speak passionately about their roles as house leaders, school councillors or attendance ambassadors. Leaders ensure that the school is fully inclusive. Pupils with SEND enjoy taking part in the same opportunities as their peers.
What the school should improve
- The school has not set out clearly all of the content children are expected to know in the early years. Consequently, adults do not always know what to teach and when. The school should ensure that the knowledge pupils are expected to know and when is clear to all adults in the early years.
- The outside learning environment in the early years is underdeveloped. As a result, there are limited opportunities to extend children's learning. The school should ensure that the learning environment in the early years is appropriately resourced to support children's learning and development.
