What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 March 2023
There is a real sense of community at Mansel Primary. Leaders have built positive relationships with pupils and their families. They have created an inclusive culture that helps pupils to feel happy and safe. Pupils know that the things they learn now will help them later in life. They talk about their many different aspirations for the future. Leaders have developed an ambitious curriculum that supports pupils to achieve these aspirations. Visitors to school, such as local artists, inspire pupils. Most pupils strive to meet leaders' high expectations. Adults help pupils to manage their own feelings and behave well. Leaders have established the school rules of 'ready, respectful, safe' to help pupils understand what adults expect of them. Staff apply these rules consistently. As a result, pupils behave well most of the time. When behaviour slips, staff immediately help pupils to get back on track. This means pupils can focus on their learning with few distractions. Bullying is not a problem at Mansel Primary. This is because leaders and staff teach pupils how to treat everyone with respect. When bullying does happen, staff resolve it effectively. Leaders make sure pupils and families understand why attending school is important. Staff provide lots of support to help pupils attend every day. This is making a positive difference to pupils.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, leaders have not identified the most important knowledge that they would like pupils to know and remember. This means that teachers are not sure about exactly what should be learned. Leaders should ensure that this knowledge is identified so that pupils learn well across all subjects.
- Some tasks given to pupils in lessons do not match the intended learning. This means that pupils do not learn the intended knowledge. Leaders should ensure that teachers are sharply focused on what it is they expect pupils to learn by making sure that planned activities enable pupils to achieve this.
