What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 November 2023
Pupils are happy at Four Dwellings Primary Academy. They know that staff want the best for them and feel confident to talk about any issues, as well as their hopes and wishes. Pupils behave very well in lessons. They remain focused and want to learn. The behaviour of pupils at breaktimes is orderly. Pupils make friends easily and feel safe in school. Pupils' well-being and personal development are paramount. The school provides a wide range of enrichment activities for pupils. This allows pupils to enhance the skills and talents they already have or learn new ones. Every opportunity that the school provides is open to all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils can apply to become reading ambassadors, academy councillors, rights respecting champions and sports leaders. Pupils take these roles seriously, enjoying the responsibility this brings. There is a wide range of clubs and after-school opportunities for pupils, both sporting and non-sporting. Opportunities to explore a variety of careers start in Nursery and increase as pupils move through the school. This helps pupils to understand the wide range of career options available and be aspirational. The school has high expectations of all pupils, who do well in school.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, the work given to pupils does not consistently enable them to achieve the aims of the curriculum. This means that pupils do not always secure a depth of knowledge and understanding across all topics. The school should ensure that the work given to all pupils is well matched to the ambitious end-points set out in each subject.
