What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 May 2023
Pupils enjoy coming to this welcoming school and benefit from the warm, nurturing relationships they have with staff. Pupils know and demonstrate 'The Lambley Way' in all they do. This involves living the school values of readiness, respect and resilience. Leaders have high expectations of behaviour and achievement for all pupils. All pupils, including children in the early years, meet these expectations very well. As a result, behaviour is calm, and disruption to learning is rare. Pupils are very polite, considerate of others, and develop close friendships with one another. Older pupils buddy with the youngest pupils. The foundations of positive behaviour and attitudes are firmly laid down in the early years. Children in the early years quickly settle into school routines. Bullying is not common. Leaders deal with any cases of bullying swiftly, and pupils trust staff to do so. The vast majority of parents are happy with the school. One comment, typical of many, was: 'Lambley Primary School provides a fantastic setting for children to learn in a safe and friendly environment, supported by sincerely kind and nurturing teachers and support staff.'
What the school should improve
- Not all pupils have a strong understanding of different religions and cultures. This means that they do not understand and appreciate religious differences as well as they might. Leaders need to review the impact of the new religious education curriculum and develop further opportunities for pupils to learn about and remember knowledge of different religions and cultures.
- Leaders have been working hard to develop pupils' writing skills. They have recently introduced a new approach to the development of pupils' spelling, punctuation and grammar. This focuses on phonic knowledge. Leaders have not yet evaluated this approach. Leaders need to ensure that this is embedded and monitored so that they are assured that the system results in pupils' improved skills in spelling, punctuation and grammar. Leaders need to communicate the system more clearly to parents so that they can support their children more effectively at home.
