What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 June 2024
Laceby Acres Primary Academy has high ambitions for what all pupils can achieve, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils behave well in lessons and around school. The school's approach to behaviour helps pupils to be intrinsically motivated. Pupils say that this helps them to reflect and make informed choices. Pupils are safe. Adults create positive relationships with pupils. This ensures an atmosphere where pupils are happy. If they have any concerns or worries, they know the adults in school will help them to resolve them. Educational visits support the delivery of the curriculum. This includes trips linked to the Second World War and animal habitats. The school is committed to supporting pupils' wider development. They have created their 'Fab 40'. This is a list of experiences pupils complete while attending the school. One example includes children in early years using the school phone to ring their home. These are to build pupils' character and confidence. Pupils access a range of extra-curricular opportunities. These clubs are inclusive. Pupils develop their talents in areas such as football and cricket. Pupils also get the opportunity to develop their musical interests. This includes learning the violin and singing in the choir.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of foundation subjects, some pupils are not remembering enough of what they learn. As a result, they are not able to build and develop their understanding as effectively as they could. The school needs to better support pupils to retain knowledge in these subjects so that they deepen their understanding.
