What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 June 2022
Mawsley Primary School is a happy and welcoming school where everyone respects each other. Pupils enjoy learning and playing together. Leaders want all pupils to 'be brave, be kind and be yourself'. Pupils certainly are. Pupils are polite and well behaved. They feel safe in school. Pupils are confident that should bullying occur, it would be sorted out straight away by staff. Pupils say that bullying is very rare. They understand the importance of treating everyone with kindness, understanding and respect. Leaders are ambitious for all pupils to succeed in their learning and in life. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils live up to these expectations. They achieve well in the calm environment that leaders have created. Pupils relish the opportunities to take on roles and responsibilities in school. As members of the pupil parliament, pupils play an important role in the life of the school. Older pupils take their 'cabin leaders' roles seriously when leading after- school activities for younger pupils. Digital leaders help to make sure pupils stay safe online. Parents and carers speak highly of the school. They typically commented: 'Mawsley is a lovely school with caring teachers and staff.'
What the school should improve
- In the early years, some children are not given sufficient opportunities to deepen or consolidate their learning in the continuous provision. As a consequence, some children are not learning as well as they could. Leaders should ensure that there are rigorous checking systems in place to ensure that children's learning is maximised in the continuous provision, so that they achieve as well as they should.
- Although leaders are ambitious for their curriculum to be reflective of life in modern Britain and multiculturalism, it is not yet fully embedded. Consequently, not all pupils have developed a wide cultural understanding of different religions and beliefs. Leaders need to ensure that their curriculum is fully reflective of multicultural Britain and the wider world so that pupils leave the school fully prepared for life in modern Britain.
