What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 March 2024
Mary Elton Primary School is a safe, friendly school where staff care deeply for the well-being of pupils. Through the curriculum, pupils learn strong social skills. Consequently, they are kind and respectful towards each other. They form close, nurturing relationships with staff. In the Reception Year, children learn the routines of school well. They learn to take turns and share. Older pupils behave well in lessons and around the school site. Pupils attend school regularly because the school works hard to ensure that pupils enjoy learning and feel well supported. Pupils learn about the importance of democracy and free speech. For example, pupils elect house captains to represent them. Pupils develop leadership skills through the many opportunities open to them. Digital leaders, for instance, lead assemblies about how to navigate the internet safely. Mini police help others to keep themselves safe. Pupils enrich their learning through organised trips and clubs. Most pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive effective support to help them learn well. However, some pupils with complex SEND do not receive the bespoke support they require to flourish.
What the school should improve
- The needs of some pupils with SEND are not met well. Consequently, some pupils with complex SEND do not learn as well as leaders intend. The school and the trust must ensure that these pupils receive the support they need to learn with confidence and success.
- In some subjects, teachers do not extend pupils' knowledge. This limits the extent to which pupils can demonstrate in-depth subject knowledge. The school and the trust should ensure that pupils deepen their subject understanding so that they are well prepared for their next steps.
