What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 February 2025
Staff at Lyng Primary School have created a warm and nurturing environment that embraces and celebrates difference and allows pupils to thrive. Pupils are courteous and behave well in and out of lessons. Any upsets are quickly sorted by staff who know their pupils well. There are high expectations for all pupils, and as a result, pupils try their best and achieve well. When pupils join the school, they settle quickly and make new friends. From the start, staff make every effort to immerse pupils in activities that spark their interests. This means that pupils quickly develop a love of learning and want to be at school. Pupils attend well. The school has created a rich curriculum. Pupils experience many exciting learning opportunities inside and outside the classroom. For example, pupils recall with pride creating artefacts for the Lyng Museum, learning to fly drones in computing lessons or going to the outside learning area to den build or enjoy a 'wellie walk'. There are many clubs for pupils to develop their talents and interests. Pupils appreciate the benefits they get from attending them.
What the school should improve
- The curriculums in some foundation subjects have not yet shown their full impact. Teachers are not always checking on prior learning or linking new learning to what pupils already know. This means that pupils have some gaps in knowledge in these subjects. The school should continue to strengthen its approach to checking and closing gaps in knowledge in these subjects and ensure that pupils are given regular opportunities to apply and deepen their knowledge.
- The new mathematics curriculum is not yet implemented sufficiently well. Teachers are not always addressing gaps in pupils' knowledge. This means that some pupils do not learn all of the mathematical knowledge they need to achieve well. The school should develop the skills and expertise of teachers to ensure that all pupils acquire the mathematical knowledge they need to be able to achieve well.
