What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 30 January 2024
There is a strong community spirit at Ludlow Primary School. Since the amalgamation of the infant and junior schools, staff have worked together to build a shared identity across the two sites. Everyone is kind, welcoming and caring. Pupils are happy, behave well and enjoy coming to school. There are high aspirations for all pupils. Children get off to a great start in the early years where they are supported well to be confident and independent. Leaders have rightly focused on creating a thoughtful curriculum with a focus on communication, citizenship and health. Pupils achieve well. Pupils are proud of their school and they enjoy carrying out special jobs, such as reading champions and sports crew. The school provides a wide range of educational experiences to bring learning to life, including stargazing, bedtime stories and visits to cities and outdoor centres. Pupils learn how to be resilient through challenges, such as cross-country running. There are many clubs on offer including cricket, choir and computing, as well as music lessons and science challenges. Parents and carers say they are very happy with the changes to the school because staff help their children to be confident and happy. All staff are proud to be part of the team.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the curriculum content is too broad. The school has recently identified the precise knowledge it wants the pupils to learn. However, this means that pupils are not yet gaining a depth of knowledge in these subjects and struggle to remember their previous learning. The school should ensure that the curriculum changes are implemented effectively so that pupils are secure in what they know and understand in all subjects.
- At times, teachers do not adapt learning precisely enough to match the needs of different groups of pupils. Some pupils cannot fully access their learning, whereas others are not provided with work that challenges their thinking. When this happens, pupils do not achieve as well as they might and it slows their progress. The school should ensure that staff are equipped to adapt their lessons, when necessary, to meet the needs of all pupils.
