What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 March 2023
'It's good to be in school' are the words sung by the school choir. The pupils in this school certainly think so. At Langford, all pupils are encouraged to be 'STARS': 'Safe, thoughtful, adventurous, resilient and smiling'. They are friendly, happy and safe. The adults know pupils well and take good care of them. Parents who responded to Ofsted's online survey agreed, with one explaining, 'The teachers are supportive and the teaching assistants are all really great, making a really positive impact on the lives of the children.' Adults have high expectations for behaviour. All pupils, including those in the early years, get along well together. Unkind behaviour and bullying are rare. If bullying does occur, adults in school act promptly to ensure both the victim and perpetrator are supported so that it does not happen again. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), enjoy taking part in a range of activities and events linked to a newly designed curriculum. Leaders choose experiences to deepen pupils' knowledge of what they learn. Pupils enjoy finding out about different types of family, cultures, and religions. Discrimination of any sort is not tolerated here.
What the school should improve
- Historically, pupils at the end of key stage 2 have not achieved as well as they could in writing and mathematics. Leaders should continue with their plans so that staff are confident in delivering and that all pupils make the progress they are capable of.
- In the foundation subjects, leaders have not developed a precise approach to checking what pupils have learned over time. As a result, leaders and teachers do not have a clear picture of gaps in pupils' knowledge. Leaders need to ensure that assessment is effective in identifying gaps in pupils' knowledge so that teachers can address these swiftly and effectively.
