What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 September 2022
There is a happy and aspiring atmosphere in Methley Primary School. It is calm and welcoming. Staff care about pupils and want them to achieve their best. Pupils are kept safe. They know adults in school who they can talk to who will help them with their worries. The school's values permeate the ambitious curriculum. Pupil 'value ambassadors' make sure that pupils know and understand the 'Methley magic 5' values of motivation, perseverance, communication, collaboration and respect. Staff have high expectations for pupils' learning and behaviour. They make sure that pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well supported and take an active part in school life. Pupils know that it is fine for them to make mistakes and learn from them. They learn what bullying is and what they should do if it occurs. Most pupils say that bullying is rare but they are confident that when it does happen, staff will sort it out. Pupils are proud of their school. They are polite and respectful. They enjoy a variety of trips and activities. They relish opportunities to represent the school through sporting events and positions of responsibility.
What the school should improve
- Pupils learn about diversity and different faiths and cultures. However, pupils have limited opportunities to apply their knowledge and develop their understanding. This means that they do not fully understand these aspects of life in modern Britain. Leaders should provide suitable opportunities for pupils to gain a broader understanding of diversity and different faiths and cultures.
- Ensuring pupils' regular attendance is an ongoing priority for leaders. Too many pupils are, however, persistently absent from school. This means that some pupils miss valuable learning. Leaders should ensure that they continue to work to improve attendance for all groups of pupils, particularly those who are disadvantaged.
