What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 September 2023
Pupils enjoy attending Lawley Primary School. They feel safe, and they become assured, articulate young people. Pupils have every confidence that there are always adults to talk to and that staff deal with any bullying straight away. The school has high expectations for pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), and staff alike. They have planned the curriculum well. Pupils study a wide range of subjects, and learning builds on what pupils already know. Pupils become fluent and enthusiastic readers. Leaders have forged useful links with nurseries and childminders. Pupils use information and communication technology to good effect. Pupils show respect towards one another and adults. They are interested in their work and behave well in lessons. Pupils move around the site in a sensible fashion. At social times, they make good use of a wide range of playground equipment. Visitors and trips out of school help pupils to engage with their learning. A well- planned programme of residential visits contributes to developing pupils' character. Pupils have opportunities to take up positions of responsibility and to influence how the school runs. Many take part in a range of after-school clubs.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, systems for assessment and feedback to pupils are unclear. As a result, pupils do not know how to improve their work in these subjects. The school should ensure that teachers are clear about how they are assessing pupils' work, and how to inform them about how they can correct and extend it.
- The school does not ensure that the next steps for pupils with SEND are identified clearly enough. This means that some pupils with SEND do not consistently receive all the help they need to make good progress. The school should make sure that all plans identify, precisely enough, the right information to enable staff to support pupils with SEND effectively so they achieve the best possible outcomes.
