What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 15 November 2022
There are high expectations of pupils at Misterton Primary and Nursery School. Pupils work hard to meet these expectations in their lessons and at social times. There are positive relationships between pupils and the adults in school. Pupils want to do well. When teachers are pleased with pupils' behaviour and attitudes to learning they tell pupils 'You have filled my bucket.' Pupils delight in this praise. Pupils feel safe in school. They know that the adults care about them. They are confident to ask an adult for help if they have any concerns, including bullying. Pupils know that adults will listen to their worries and sort it out quickly. Leaders have prioritised pupils' mental health and well-being. 'Well-being Wednesday' is an important part of every school week. Pupils are taught how to manage their feelings when they feel stressed or angry. Pupils who are upset can spend time with George the school dog. Leaders have created a calm and welcoming learning environment, which is appreciated by the school community, including the vast majority of parents. One parent summed this up: 'My child has been encouraged to achieve their own individual potential in a nurturing environment.'
What the school should improve
- A small number of middle leaders have not been fully developed to undertake their roles. They do not have all of the skills they need to lead their areas of responsibility with confidence. This limits their ability to develop the curriculum further and offer support to colleagues. Leaders should ensure that all leaders receive the training and coaching they need in order to become accomplished in their roles.
- Much of the school's curriculum is new. It is not yet clear that it is successfully enabling pupils to know and remember more. Leaders should ensure that monitoring activities are undertaken with a clear focus in order to provide them with the information they need to refine and develop the curriculum further.
