What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 March 2023
Pupils are happy at Maryport Church of England Primary School. They enjoy positive relationships with each other and with staff. Pupils value trusted adults in school and the safe spaces for them to go to if they have any worries. Leaders deal with rare incidents of bullying effectively. This helps pupils to feel safe. Leaders have high expectations of pupils' learning and behaviour. They encourage pupils to 'choose the right path' and to embody the school values, including friendship, compassion and forgiveness. Pupils, including children in the early years, live out these values. They are kind, respectful and considerate. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are committed to their learning. They try their best and concentrate on their work. Most pupils achieve well. Pupils appreciate the steps that leaders have taken to make their lunchtimes fun, creative and imaginative. Some pupils are play leaders and have worked with staff to design a variety of activities for pupils to take part in at lunchtime. These activities have been created to meet a wide range of pupils' interests. For example, pupils enjoy building dens, dancing and construction. This deliberately planned play helps pupils to develop skills such as teamwork, collaboration, resilience and perseverance.
What the school should improve
- Some governors are new to their role and have not ensured that they have completed sufficient training. This means that they do not understand their role as well as they should. Governors should ensure that they have the training and support that they need to fulfil their roles, in order to provide effective support and challenge to leaders.
- In a minority of subjects, leaders have not ensured that the work given to pupils enables them to develop a detailed knowledge in that subject. As a result, some pupils do not achieve as strongly as they should in these subjects. Leaders should ensure that teachers give pupils work that deepens their knowledge and better prepares them for the next stage of education.
