What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 July 2022
Pupils thrive at Monk Fryston Church of England Primary School. Children make a strong start in the Reception Year. Staff in the early years seize opportunities to develop children's curiosity and empathy. Pupils build successfully on this firm foundation. Leaders have ensured that a well-planned curriculum enables pupils to go on to achieve well in a range of subjects across the school. Leaders have created a calm environment where pupils are encouraged to talk and to listen to each other. Pupils have a strong sense of community responsibility. Year 6 'buddies' mentor Reception Year children and help them to join in with games and activities at break time. Pupils act when they see injustice in their community or in the world. Some pupils were struck recently by the hardships that children were facing due to the conflict in Ukraine. Pupils presented an assembly to the school and raised funds to help families in need. Staff have high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Pupils are respectful to adults as well as their peers. They are thoughtful and polite. Pupils support each other and are kind. They play well together. Bullying is rare. Pupils know that if they have any worries they can talk to a trusted adult. Staff deal with any concerns quickly.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, teachers do not use assessment consistently well to check pupils' knowledge and understanding. Where this is the case, teachers do not identify gaps in pupils' knowledge well. Leaders should work to establish an effective and well-implemented system to check that pupils remember the knowledge set out in curriculum plans.
- In a few subjects, some teachers are not confident in their subject knowledge. As a result, some pupils are not given the opportunity to deepen their understanding. Leaders should ensure that staff receive the appropriate subject training in order to teach the school's curriculum with confidence.
