What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 October 2023
Luston Primary is a very friendly, inclusive and good-humoured place in which to work and learn. This is a place where staff know the pupils well. Staff nurture and support pupils to do their best. This is because leaders and staff have high expectations for pupils' behaviour, safety and learning. Pupils respond very well to these. Instances of bullying are rare but if unkind behaviour happens, then the pupils and adults sort it out quickly and fairly. Consequently, the school day runs smoothly and is full of smiles and laughter. Pupils enjoy school life. All in all, there is a very respectful culture at Luston Primary. In lessons, pupils do lots of varied activities that get them interested in different subjects. The teaching of reading and mathematics is very effective. Beyond these, the school provides a broad curriculum enriched by trips and special events. Staff also make the most of the school's grounds to develop pupils' knowledge of nature and the outdoors. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive high-quality support. The school includes all pupils in everything it does. As with other aspects of the school's work, this is due to values-based leadership at all levels. This ensures that the school continues to develop and improve.
What the school should improve
- Staff members' access to subject-specific training, and the school's curriculum planning, are further ahead in some foundation subjects than in others. In some foundation subjects, staff training has been limited. This means that planning for progression in pupils' learning is not as well informed as it could be. The school should make manageable plans for subject leaders and other staff to strengthen their knowledge of what effective curriculum sequencing and strong progress looks like in all foundation subjects.
