What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 January 2025
Pupils say 'everyone is included' at Long Knowle Primary School. The school is ambitious for all its pupils. Pupils achieve well, particularly in reading. Each day pupils do their best to live the school's 'RIGHT' values. There is a strong culture of safety and well-being. Pupils say 'teachers are amazing and kind'. Staff listen to and act on any worries or concerns that pupils have. Pupils are happy and safe. They enjoy attending. The school's high behaviour expectations are consistently applied by staff. Pupils are polite and well-behaved. Classrooms are calm and orderly. Pupils settle quickly to complete tasks in lessons. At social times, pupils enjoy spending time with their friends. Pupil leaders are on hand to distribute play equipment. They help younger pupils to play games and learn new skills. Pupils have an age-appropriate understanding of healthy relationships. They know how to be a good friend. Pupils value their recent trips to a church, castle, museum and a steam train experience. Such activities help to deepen their historical knowledge about the past.

What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the order in which pupils should learn key information is not clearly set out. This affects teachers' understanding of when to teach important knowledge and skills to pupils in aspects of these subjects. The school should ensure that the order in which pupils should be taught essential knowledge and skills is well thought out.
- There is variability in how assessment information is used to plan next steps in pupils learning. As a result, work set by teachers does not enable some pupils to achieve the aims of the school's ambitious curriculum. The school should ensure that assessment information is consistently used to plan next steps so that all pupils consistently learn and remember more of the school's ambitious curriculum.
