What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 September 2022
Leaders provide pupils with many opportunities to develop a 'love of learning' at Lanivet Community Primary School. They have ambitious expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Pupils talk with confidence about how much they enjoy learning, starting in the Reception Year. Pupils are clear that staff want the best for them. Most pupils behave well. They know what it means to 'be ready, be respectful and be safe'. Classrooms are calm and productive environments. Pupils say that learning is rarely disturbed by poor behaviour. A few pupils find it difficult to meet leaders' high expectations. They receive help from staff who know their needs well and help them to understand their emotions. Consequently, pupils experience success and are well prepared for the next stage in their education. Pupils know what the different types of bullying are. They know what to do if it were to happen to them. Parents appreciate leaders being visible on the playground each morning. They consider leaders to be friendly and welcoming. The majority of parents hold positive views of the school. 'My children are valued, safe and happy', was a typical comment.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, teachers are not always clear about the most important knowledge that pupils need to remember. As a result, some pupils develop gaps in their knowledge and find it hard to remember their learning. Leaders need to ensure that the key knowledge pupils need to remember is identified clearly in all subjects.
- In some subjects, teachers' checks on what pupils know and can do are not as helpful as they could be. Some gaps in pupils' knowledge are not identified quickly enough. Leaders need to ensure that there is a consistent and effective approach to assessment in all subjects. This will enable teachers to adapt learning successfully when needed.
