What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 March 2022
There is a buzz of happy activity at Mitton Manor Primary School as pupils work and play. Pupils are a credit to the school. They are polite, welcoming and sociable.

They are kind to one another and are respectful to adults. Pupils confirmed that bullying is not tolerated here. Adults have high expectations of pupils. Pupils listen carefully and work hard because they have a thirst for learning. Pupils proudly explained that they are 'Team Mitton', because learning encourages them to try, enjoy, achieve and move forward. The school provides rich learning experiences for pupils. For example, pupils enjoy trips to an interactive science centre and Morfa Bay. The majority of parents are happy with the school. Typical comments from parents include: 'I can't thank them enough'; and, 'The school goes above and beyond to support my child.' Parents appreciated regular communication and remote learning for pupils during the national lockdowns. A minority of parents have concerns about the way in which the school supports their children. Leaders are committed to further improving communication with parents in order to gain their confidence.
What the school should improve
- Phonics teaching is not consistently strong. Pupils' reading books do not closely match the sounds they are learning, and teaching does not routinely help pupils to use their knowledge of phonics to spell. As a result, pupils are not fully supported to develop the knowledge and skills that they should. Leaders must fully embed the new phonics programme and routinely check its impact, to assure themselves that pupils are gaining the knowledge and skills they need in order to become confident, fluent readers and writers.
