What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 November 2024
Pupils enjoy attending Malton Primary Academy. Pupils appreciate their learning opportunities. They are keen to share their ideas and opinions in lessons. The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement. Pupils are benefiting from the changes the school has made to what they learn. As a result, pupils' achievement in end of key stage assessments is improving. Pupils rise to the high expectations the school has for their behaviour. Pupils are taught how to challenge behaviour that is not appropriate. They enjoy discussing topics relating to conduct in circle time. Here, pupils can reflect on success and areas to improve. Pupils express their feelings well and provide support to others. Pupils relish the wide range of trips and visits available to them. Year 6 pupils enjoy a visit to an outward bounds centre. They develop important skills in resilience. Children in the early years visit the local library and café. These and other important experiences help develop their understanding of the world around them. Pupils, along with parents and carers, recognise the positive changes in the school. Pupils enjoy a warm welcome in the morning from trusted adults. The 'snug' is a place where families can speak with an adult in the morning. These positive relationships help develop strong partnerships between the school and families.
What the school should improve
- The school does not routinely check pupils' learning well across all subjects. This means that gaps are not clearly identified and knowledge does not build well over time. The school should develop stronger approaches to checking pupils' understanding so pupils build their knowledge and skills well across all subjects.
- Recent curriculum changes are not fully embedded across all subjects. This means that the impact of these changes on pupils' knowledge is not fully realised. The school should continue its work to embed the curriculum so pupils deepen their learning across all subjects.
