What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 June 2024
The values of 'live, love, learn' are at the heart of Littletown Primary Academy. Pupils embody these values in all they do. The school encourages pupils to be self- motivated to achieve success. Trusted and nurturing relationships between staff and pupils are evident across the school. As a result, pupils strive to meet the expectations staff have of them in their learning and in their behaviour. Pupils are enthusiastic and talk about their learning with pride. Pupils are exceptionally well prepared to become active participants in communities. The school prioritises well-being and mental health so that pupils are increasingly confident and reflective. Plentiful leadership opportunities, participation in public speaking projects and success in sporting events are just some examples of how the school promotes pupils' development beyond the academic. Pupils show care and support for each other in the many opportunities they have to interact and socialise. As a result, the school is a calm and purposeful place in which to learn. Parents and carers have confidence in the impact the school has on their children. They are particularly complimentary about the wider development and inclusivity of the school. One parent captures these views in their comment about what their child said: 'I feel like I can be my true self at this school.'
What the school should improve
- There is a lack of rigour in how assessment information is gathered and how it is used to inform curriculum development in some subjects. As a result, curriculum improvement and implementation are not as effective as they could be. The trust should ensure that assessment systems provide the necessary and precise information needed to make the most impact on pupils' learning.
- Those responsible for governance do not always have sufficient information to challenge and hold leaders to account. Consequently, in some areas, they do not gain the assurances they need to get the most informed view of the school. Those responsible for governance must ensure that they hold leaders to account for the precise information that they need to impact fully on the effectiveness of the school's work.
