What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 9 July 2024
Pupils and staff are exceptionally proud to be 'part' of Langdale Primary School. Pride, ambition, resilience and togetherness shine through all that happens in the school. Parents and carers add their voice to this love of, and pride in, the school. They rightly say that staff go above and beyond to help every child thrive. Pupils feel valued and listened to. They meet the high expectations that leaders and staff set for them. An aura of calm and purpose helps pupils to champion learning and achieve well. Pupils take on a range of responsibilities with a mature attitude. They are grateful for the many, varied opportunities that they are given. Pupils, from the very youngest two-year-olds to those who are about to move to secondary school, show interest in and respect for each other and visitors to the school. They do not see difference; they see an individual. They do not see difficulty because 'friends and teachers help us'. From wood to water and culture to careers, pupils develop understanding and appreciation across a range of matters. Whether this is being responsible for the environment, learning to swim, speaking different languages or learning what doors may open to the future, pupils seize each activity with open arms.
What the school should improve
- On occasions, the school does not use information from subject monitoring well enough. This means that the school does not consistently know the full impact of the curriculum across subjects. The school should ensure that approaches to monitoring are further developed so that any required adaptations to the curriculum are identified and made so that all pupils are challenged and able to fully show what they know.
