What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 October 2024
Knowle Park Primary is a school where everyone is welcome. Pupils are happy, friendly and respectful. Relationships between adults and pupils are strong. Pupils have confidence in staff to sort out any worries they might have. Staff have high expectations of everyone. Pupils rise to these and achieve well. Most have positive attitudes to their learning. Pupils are keen to do their best. They recognise that to get better at something, it takes persistence and practice. Pupils make visits to places of interest. For example, pupils visited the SS Great Britain to further develop their understanding of local history. Pupils are proud of the responsibilities they hold. These include being members of the eco squad and team captains. Pupils develop confidence and independence through such leadership positions. They regularly participate in local community events, such as working in the community garden and learn to become active citizens in their locality. Pupils develop new skills and talents through a range of clubs. These include crochet and football. The school closely monitors participation rates to ensure they are available to all. Sport has a high profile. Pupils are competitive, but fair-minded. They value the opportunity to represent their school in competitions.
What the school should improve
- On occasion, some pupils do not build enough depth of knowledge because sometimes the curriculum is not delivered well. The school should ensure that teachers have the expertise to teach the curriculum in the way that it intends.
- Sometimes the checks that teachers make on pupils' learning do not identify gaps in pupils' knowledge. This means that adjustments are not made to the design or implementation of the curriculum. Therefore, some pupils move through the curriculum with ongoing gaps and misconceptions in their learning. The school should ensure that assessment is used to inform the way the planned curriculum is implemented to support pupils to build their knowledge coherently.
