What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 April 2023
Pupils at Latton Green Primary Academy are highly enthusiastic about their school and enjoy learning. They appreciate how much staff care for them, and value that their teachers are determined for them to succeed. Pupils like how staff listen to their views and speak to them. Pupils treat each other and adults with politeness and respect. Pupils know how to manage their own behaviour and are increasingly able to reflect on what they are doing well and, when necessary, how they could do better. They usually behave very well in and out of lessons. Bullying is very rare. Pupils know that if it happens, teachers will make it stop. They know how to keep themselves safe in and out of school. Pupils' passion for learning is often ignited by interesting and thought-provoking activities in lessons. For example, in a geography lesson, pupils enthusiastically made use of information and communication technology to investigate where our food comes from and discussed its impact on the environment. Outside of lessons, there are clubs, visits, and trips, such as to the Roald Dahl museum. These provide pupils with new opportunities and further deepen pupils' learning of the curriculum.
What the school should improve
- Some teachers lack the subject knowledge needed to consistently identify where pupils may struggle or have misconceptions. As a result, some pupils are less secure in their understanding of important topics. Leaders need to ensure that teachers are all sufficiently well trained in all of the subjects that they teach.
- In some subjects, the curriculum is not sufficiently well sequenced to ensure that knowledge builds upon prior learning. Younger pupils do not always make links between these topics and, as a result, there are some gaps in their knowledge. Leaders should review the delivery and structure of the curriculum to check and ensure that pupils have opportunities to use what they know to learn and remember more.
