What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 May 2023
Loughborough Church of England Primary School is a nurturing school. Leaders have high expectations of all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils work hard in lessons. They enjoy learning and are eager to talk about what they know. One child in the Reception class excitedly shared their knowledge of life cycles by telling the inspector: 'A caterpillar turns into a chrysalis and then into a butterfly.' The school's Christian values underpin everything at the school. Pupils know why these values are important. Pupils feel happy and safe. They are polite and well mannered. One pupil shared: 'My school is special because our teachers are accepting and supportive. Teachers always help you.' Pupils understand what bullying is and the different forms that it can take. They say that it happens very rarely. At lunchtimes, pupils make good use of the wide range of activities on offer. They learn how to play safely. Pupils enjoy taking part in fundraising events within the local community. A recent example of this was a 'colour dash'. Pupils show pride in the responsibilities that they take on, such as being a school councillor.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the newly introduced curriculum is not yet fully embedded. As a result, there are gaps in pupils' knowledge in some areas of the curriculum. Leaders should complete their work to ensure that the curriculum is fully embedded and consistently results in pupils knowing and remembering the intended content.
- In a small number of cases, teachers do not think carefully enough about the work that they provide for pupils with SEND. In some cases, they provide work that is too easy and does not help them to learn the curriculum as well as it should. Leaders should ensure that all staff have the pedagogical expertise required to meet the needs of all learners effectively in all areas of the curriculum.
