What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 September 2022
Pupils are proud to attend Lound Junior School. They enjoy coming to school and attend well. Pupils get on well with each other. They work well together in and out of lessons. Pupils take on leadership responsibilities in school willingly and well. For example, the pupil peer mediators help to create the friendly atmosphere at break and lunchtimes. Pupils say bullying happens infrequently. They know who to go to if things go wrong, and say they get help to put things right. Incidents of poor behaviour are rare. There is mutual respect between adults and pupils. Staff are motivated and well led. They encourage pupils to do well in their lessons. Pupils are supported to read confidently and regularly. Leaders of individual subjects know their areas of responsibility well. Pupils study all subjects in the national curriculum. Although pupils cover the most important concepts in their lessons, they do not often have the chance to revisit these at a later date. Pupils are supported to fulfil healthy lifestyles. At lunchtime, for example, there are opportunities to take part in a variety of sporting activities. Pupils are also well supported by a pastoral leader to help support their mental well-being. The annual overnight residential and other regular educational visits are particularly welcomed by pupils.
What the school should improve
- Subject leaders have identified the key concepts in each unit of work. However, pupils do not have opportunities to revisit these learning points, and assessments do not routinely align with these concepts. As such, there are missed opportunities for pupils to embed their learning and for teachers to check what pupils have remembered over time. Leaders should ensure the next step of their ongoing curriculum development addresses these points.
- Pupils' writing composition skills are not currently as well developed as other aspects of their academic development. As a result, the quality of pupils' writing is not as advanced as leaders expect. Leaders should implement a strategy to support pupils to write fluently.
