Lanner Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 17 May 2022

Pupils and parents consider Lanner Primary School to be a 'school that cares'. Pupils enjoy attending. They know that they always have to try their best. Pupils show determination to reach teachers' high expectations. Leaders carefully consider how all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), can be supported to learn well. Pupils say that only their best effort is good enough. One parent said, 'There is a hunger for all children to do their best and be proud of their achievements'. Pupils learn about different types of bullying. They say that bullying rarely happens. Pupils are confident that adults would step in and act quickly if it did. They appreciate how adults listen to them. Parents value the strong relationships that exist between staff and pupils. Pupils understand leaders' clear expectations of behaviour. They say that they are treated fairly and with respect. Consequently, most pupils behave well. Pupils who need it receive support to understand their emotions. Pupils are encouraged to reflect on their choices. They develop an understanding of how their actions impact others. Classrooms are calm and purposeful.

What the school should improve

• Sometimes teachers do not consider the small steps of learning carefully enough. Learning activities do not always help pupils to understand the curriculum as well as they could. Some pupils do not remember enough of the intended curriculum. Leaders need to ensure that learning activities support pupils to know more and remember more.
