What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 February 2023
Pupils feel safe and happy at Montgomerie Primary School. They benefit from a supportive environment where everyone is respected and welcomed. Relationships between pupils and staff are warm and caring. Staff know the pupils and their families well. Pupils respond well to staff's high aspirations for them. The school's values are important for everyone in the school. Pupils understand that these values prepare them for adult life. Pupils behave well in lessons and around the school. They understand the behaviour and rewards system. Staff use this consistently. Pupils have positive attitudes towards their learning. They are keen to succeed, and most achieve well. Pupils learn to express their thoughts and feelings through personal, social and health education lessons. This helps them to manage their emotions and develop positive relationships. As a result, bullying is exceptionally rare. Pupils have a wide range of opportunities to develop both academically and personally. They enjoy attending a range of clubs. They take part in local sports competitions. Many pupils are involved in a national award scheme, and their successes are celebrated in assemblies. Posts of responsibility include those of anti-bullying ambassadors, school counsellors and play pals. Trips and visits enrich pupils' learning.
What the school should improve
- In a minority of subjects, for example history, leaders have not identified the most important knowledge that pupils should know and remember. As a result, teaching does not always cover important knowledge in the right amount of detail. This means that, in these subjects, pupils do not always build their knowledge from their prior learning. Leaders should ensure that their curriculum plans for all subjects identify the most important knowledge that pupils need to know and remember to help teachers plan lessons that build on pupils' previous learning.
