What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 July 2024
Pupils at Lewis Street Primary love the welcoming atmosphere at the school. They appreciate the thoughtfulness of staff, who provide a nurturing and friendly environment. Pupils, including children in the early years, are happy at school. They are eager to learn because of the ways in which teachers support them to succeed. Pupils have excellent relationships with staff. They feel safe and readily place their trust in the adults working in the school. Pupils are supported well to reflect and manage their own behaviour. They understand how their actions can affect others' feelings. The school is a calm place to be. Pupils respect each other's opinions and differences. The school sets high expectations for pupils' achievement, including for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils achieve well across the curriculum. The school offers a range of clubs to develop pupils' talents and interests, which include clubs for arts and crafts, sports and mindfulness. The curriculum is built to include a range of experiences that enrich pupils' personal development. For example, Year 3 pupils perform at a local theatre to help develop their confidence and Year 5 pupils learn to fish to develop their patience and resilience.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the school has not defined the essential knowledge that pupils should learn. This means that teachers are unsure about the deeper understanding that pupils need in readiness for future learning. The school should make sure that the curriculum in these subjects clearly defines the underlying concepts that pupils need. This is so that teachers can support pupils to build on their prior learning more effectively.
- The checks on pupils' recall in a small number of subjects do not support teachers to identify where pupils have not remembered key knowledge correctly. This means that, on occasion, some misconceptions remain in pupils' understanding over time. The school should ensure that, in these subjects, teachers are suitably equipped to identify and address pupils' misconceptions more effectively.
