What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 November 2023
Pupils at Laira Green model the school's values of 'be kind, be determined, be proud.' They are enthusiastic about their learning. They work hard and treat others respectfully. Children in Reception Year concentrate on tasks for sustained periods of time. They do not give up easily. They enjoy coming to school and most pupils attend regularly. Leaders have established a culture where pupils feel they belong. Pupils know and respect the boundaries the school have put into place. Staff consistently remind pupils of the positive learning behaviours they expect. Pupils are rewarded for demonstrating these. However, a small minority of pupils find it difficult to meet these high expectations and can cause pockets of disruption. The school manage this effectively. Pupils develop new talents and interests through the range of extra-curricular opportunities on offer. Many pupils attend lego, sewing, choir or taekwondo clubs, for example. Pupils can apply for leadership roles at the school. When successfully appointed, they set to work to make a difference at school and in the local community. For example, pupils on the school council raise money for good causes. Wildlife champions consider how to increase biodiversity in the school grounds.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the key knowledge that pupils need to learn is not broken down into sufficient detail. Therefore, pupils do not build a secure knowledge or deepen their understanding in these subjects. The school should ensure that the knowledge they want pupils to learn is planned precisely in all subjects.
