What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 10 May 2023

Respect, resilience, cooperation, consideration, ambition, independence and confidence are the seven core values at this school. Pupils, parents and staff all played a part in setting these values for their community school. Pupils know them and do their very best to show them at all times in their work and their play. They are kind and have empathy. Pupils know that sometimes others have a bad day and need help to get it right. The result is that this is a warm, welcoming and inclusive school where pupils feel safe and attend well. Play and creativity are important at Langtoft Primary. Younger pupils like how Year 6 play leaders and peer mediators help them to play positively together. In art, teachers give pupils freedom to apply their skills in the way they choose. This promotes confidence and independence. In class assemblies, pupils think hard and discuss serious matters like the United Nations' rights of the child. Staff have high expectations of pupils' effort and learning. Pupils work hard and achieve well. They are proud when their effort earns them a place in 'the golden book of greatness'. The curriculum is new and leaders are working to continue to develop it so that pupils can achieve even more.

What the school should improve

  • Leaders have identified that some target setting for pupils with SEND is not precise enough. This means that teachers do not always meet pupils' needs. Leaders must continue with their plans to ensure all staff understand how to identify small steps of progress for pupils with SEND and adapt their teaching accordingly so that all pupils learn as well as they should.
  • In some areas of the curriculum, leaders have not identified the precise knowledge that pupils should learn at each stage of learning. Where this is the case, teachers do not always focus on the most important knowledge in lessons. Leaders must ensure that the curriculum is carefully broken down and sequenced in all areas so that teachers know exactly what the core knowledge is and plan their teaching to ensure pupils learn it.
