What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 December 2024
Pupils are happy and polite at Milby Primary. They enjoy coming to school and are keen to learn in lessons. The school has high expectations of pupils across the curriculum. This means that most pupils, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), achieve well. Pupils are safe at this school. They have staff they can talk to or seek help from should the need arise. The school places a high priority on pastoral care and it is at the core of all the school does. Pupils benefit from support by the dedicated pastoral team, parents and pupils appreciate this. There is a calm and purposeful learning environment. Pupils behave well in lessons. They play well with one another in the outdoor space. The curriculum is enriched with trips, outdoor learning and visitors, which help bring learning to life. Pupils get the opportunity to stand for election in the school council and apply for other roles of responsibility, such as prefects and foundation stage lunchtime helpers. These opportunities are valued by pupils and help them to prepare for life in modern Britain.
What the school should improve
- On occasion, the work given to pupils does not match their stage of learning. This means that sometimes pupils have to overly rely on support from adults. The school should ensure all staff have the expertise to make appropriate adaptations within lessons to enable all pupils to learn the curriculum successfully and build their knowledge over time.
- Teachers do not consistently check pupils understanding and address misconceptions within lessons. This means that pupils do not routinely secure their learning into the long-term memory. The school should continue to develop staff expertise so they can successfully identify and address any gaps or misconceptions.
