What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 June 2023
Leen Mills Primary is a joyful and welcoming place. The pupils demonstrate the school's three values of being curious, creative and confident. They are well cared for and proud of their school. One pupil reflected, 'The school makes you feel like you are a member of a large family, and everyone is included.' Warm relationships ensure that behaviour is positive from the classroom to the playground. Pupils say that they are happy and feel safe. They are respectful of one another and work well together in lessons. Pupils are polite to visitors, adults and each other. Pupils consistently say that the reason they love this school is because of the teachers. Leaders have high aspirations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The school is very inclusive. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the school. A common view of parents is that 'the school has an overall feeling of care, trust and respect'. Another parent commented, 'The commitment Leen Mills has, not only towards children's education but also towards their health and well-being, is amazing.'
What the school should improve
- Leaders are aware that some aspects of the curriculum need further refinement, particularly in ensuring that teachers' use of assessment consistently identifies gaps and misconceptions in pupils' knowledge and that expectations are consistently high. Leaders must ensure that assessment processes and the delivery of the curriculum in all subjects are of equally high quality so that pupils learn as well as they should.
- Pupils do not have a fully developed and broad understanding of other faiths, religions and cultures. Leaders should ensure that pupils receive sufficient opportunities and develop a deeper understanding of these aspects of the curriculum.
