What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 February 2023
Lawn Primary and Nursery is a vibrant and welcoming school where pupils flourish. Pupils are proud to belong to this harmonious community. They feel happy, safe and well cared for. Pupils say that if they have any worries, teachers respond to concerns raised from the worry boxes in classrooms. Bullying is not something that pupils worry about. Pupils benefit from a wide range of interesting opportunities. Many appreciate and take part in the creative, sporting or cultural activities. As they get older, pupils relish new experiences and challenges through residential trips and extra-curricular visits. Leaders and teachers have high expectations of what pupils can achieve and behaviour. Pupils work hard to meet these expectations. For instance, classrooms are calm and purposeful. Pupils are absorbed in their learning, with no time wasted. Pupils enjoy and are interested in learning alongside their friends. Parents are overwhelmingly supportive of all the school does.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of foundation subjects, the curriculum is not yet fully effective. Leaders have not identified the essential knowledge that pupils need to learn. Consequently, pupils do not consistently achieve as well as they could. Leaders need to refine the curriculum so that it identifies the precise sequenced, foundational knowledge that pupils must know and remember.
