What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 December 2022
Pupils at Lane End Primary School enjoy learning. Staff encourage pupils to be like the school's 'Super Learning Heroes': Responsible Reggie, Independent Iqra, Reflective Ralph, Collaborative Cara, Thoughtful Theo and Resourceful Ria. Pupils enjoy wearing coloured lanyards with pride when they demonstrate these positive learning characteristics. A warm and welcoming atmosphere permeates the school, and staff are approachable, helpful and compassionate. They teach pupils to think about the impact of their behaviours through the school's restorative approach to behaviour management. If pupils are unkind to others, staff ask them to reflect on how their behaviour has made others feel. This helps to make everyone feel happy and safe. Pupils generally behave well, both in lessons and at breaktimes. They are kind and considerate. Bullying rarely happens. If it does, teachers deal with it straight away. Pupils benefit from an exciting range of extra-curricular activities, including football, loom band and Lego club. They enjoy making a positive contribution to the life of the school and do so as members of the diversity group, or as a restorative practice representative. These groups add to the school's caring and friendly atmosphere by encouraging and supporting friendships.
What the school should improve
- Some staff are not sufficiently trained to ensure that the delivery of the phonics programme is of a consistently high standard. As a result, staff sometimes pronounce sounds incorrectly. This prevents pupils building a secure, accurate knowledge of letter sounds. Leaders should ensure that all staff are fully trained so they can deliver a precise, accurate phonics programme.
- In some foundation subjects, the curriculum is not well structured and organised. Pupils sometimes get overloaded with too much information and then do not remember key knowledge. Leaders should review these subjects to ensure that curriculum content is precisely organised, with core knowledge prioritised.
