What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 April 2023
Pupils are proud to attend this welcoming school. They enjoy learning new things and playing with their friends. Teamwork is at the heart of this nurturing school. Pupils live up to leaders' vision of: 'We may be small, but together we can make a big difference.' Pupils are happy and feel safe. They know that there are many adults to talk to if they have a worry. Pupils know what bullying is. It is rare for pupils to be unkind to each other. If it does happen, staff deal with it well. Pupils learn to be kind and polite at this school. They say that there are no 'outsiders'. Pupils told the inspector, 'We are all different and all welcome.' Pupils behave well. Older pupils play happily with the younger children at lunchtimes. Leaders have high expectations of pupils. From the early years, pupils meet these expectations. They work hard in lessons and achieve well. Staff praise and reward pupils for trying their best. Pupils value this; it motivates them to achieve more. Parents and carers are very positive about the school. Reflecting the views of many, one parent said, 'Loscoe is an absolutely amazing school with amazing staff.'
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, leaders' strategies to check on pupils' learning are at an earlier stage of development. This means that, on occasion, teachers are not able to ensure that pupils are acquiring a secure knowledge of some aspects of the curriculum. Leaders should ensure that assessment strategies in these subjects are developed and used well by teachers to check whether pupils have learned what was intended and ensure pupils' starting points are appropriate to their needs.
- Some pupils do not have a fully developed understanding of different faiths and cultures. Leaders should ensure that pupils develop a deeper understanding of these to ensure that they are well prepared for life in modern Britain.
