What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 January 2025
Pupils at Moat House Primary are happy, safe and eager to learn. They try hard each day to live up to the school's 'hand' values. Rigorous routines help pupils to settle quickly into their learning. Staff ensure that pupils make the most of their time in lessons to achieve well in most subjects. Pupils behave exceptionally well in all aspects of school life. They demonstrate high levels of control and respect for others. Play leaders and well-being ambassadors support pupils to make sure everyone is included and happy. In lessons, pupils are highly motivated and persist in their learning. If pupils struggle, the school takes highly effective action to support them to succeed in their education. Pupils value the wide range of clubs on offer to them, such as arts and crafts, cooking and gymnastics. Visits abroad, which include a football trip to France or an upcoming visit to China, develop pupils' understanding of the world around them.
What the school should improve
- There is variability in how handwriting is taught across the school. Poor letter formation, orientation and an inconsistent style hamper writing fluency and impact on the presentation of some pupils' work. The school should review its approach to teaching handwriting and ensure staff consistently teach handwriting effectively so that pupils' writing fluency and the presentation of their work improves.
- Children in the early years do not have sufficient opportunities to practise and apply new learning when working independently in some areas of learning. This hampers the progress they make across some areas of learning. The school should ensure that all staff know how to deliver the early years curriculum effectively so that children in the early years consistently learn the curriculum well.
