What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 20 June 2023
Lawley Primary Academy is a calm, safe and welcoming place. Leaders and staff are kind, fair and set high expectations. They make sure that everyone understands the rules and how to behave. Bullying is uncommon. Even so, staff teach pupils how to spot it and, if it happens, staff make sure it stops. Pupils learn a lot in lessons, which they enjoy. Reading is taught successfully and there are plenty of books to fuel pupils' imaginations and expand their knowledge. Other subjects provide a broad curriculum and learning is often supported by trips and visitors to school. In addition, pupils benefit from many extra activities that support them to take responsibility. From leadership jobs in school to reading and singing with residents at a nearby care home, pupils are prompted to think of others. Pupils have a say in what happens in school. A pupil safe committee and an eco- committee, for example, both play their part in improving the school. Pupils value the way adults listen to their views. They gain much from seeing how their efforts have brought about constructive change. This, along with all they learn in lessons, helps them to grow into mature responsible young people.
What the school should improve
- The mathematics curriculum is well planned but not implemented as well as it could be. Sometimes teachers' explanations or choice of resources are not carefully matched to what pupils need to learn. Leaders should review aspects of the mathematics curriculum, and the way it is implemented, so that pupils are supported to reach even higher standards.
- Assessment in some foundation subjects is still being refined. Leaders and staff have identified what pupils need to know. Nevertheless, their checks on what pupils remember could be more efficient and focused on the most useful knowledge. Leaders should continue to sharpen the focus of assessment. They should do this so that it checks and deepens the knowledge pupils need for future learning.
