What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 November 2021
Miers Court Primary School is a welcoming and caring school in the heart of the community. Pupils feel happy and safe because they are well looked after. Pupils told the lead inspector that bullying rarely happens, but that sometimes they experience friendship issues. They said that problems are sorted out quickly. As a result, they enjoy coming to school. One pupil said: 'It is a nice place because it makes you feel welcome and teachers are always there to help you.' Staff have high expectations of pupils' behaviour and learning. Pupils are enthusiastic and keen to learn. The school's learning and house-point systems help pupils to focus on developing attributes such as kindness, resilience and independence. Pupils respond very well to the praise they get from staff. Most pupils have a real thirst for learning. Pupils learn about many different themes during their time here. Assemblies and focus weeks help to prepare pupils to become active citizens in society. The school council has been committed to the 'global learning project', which encourages pupils to engage with the world they live in. Pupils have worked on projects on matters such as air quality and crisp-packet recycling.
What the school should improve
- Assessment processes in some subjects are not used as well as they are in others. This means that learning is not always matched well enough to pupils' ability. Leaders need to further refine their assessment processes so that pupils consistently make progress in all subjects.
