Langley Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 11 October 2022

Pupils are happy at this truly inclusive school. There is a strong sense of community. Parents and carers value the support that they and their children receive from staff. Pupils benefit from a carefully planned curriculum. They enjoy their learning and know more because teachers make it interesting. Pupils look forward to new learning and tackle it with confidence. The well-planned curriculum and effective teaching enable pupils to make good progress. Pupils understand the school rules. Leaders' expectations are high, and this is reflected in pupils' behaviour. Pupils are kind to each other. They say that staff teach them to treat others with respect. Pupils recognise when their friends display one of the Langley values, such as responsibility. They celebrate these occasions in assemblies. Pupils say that 'everyone will clap and be proud of them'. Bullying is rare. Leaders work closely with pupils to resolve any concerns. Pupils trust staff to listen if they have worries. This helps pupils to feel safe. Pupils learn valuable life skills through opportunities such as the 'Langley challenge'. For example, they achieve first aid qualifications or complete environmental projects. Pupils become leaders by taking on responsibilities, such as play leaders, milk monitors and forest guardians.

What the school should improve

• Some staff have recently changed roles and responsibilities. This means that they are still developing their expertise in their new roles. Leaders should continue to provide training and support in order to develop staff's expertise in their relevant roles.
