What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 July 2025
Pupils at Moreland Primary School come into school ready to learn. They are happy and they feel safe knowing that adults will help them if they have any worries. Staff work closely with families and the local community to support pupils' well-being. The school's inclusive and welcoming environment helps pupils to feel that they belong here. The school sets high expectations for its pupils. It encourages them to work hard and be proud of their achievements, including when learning feels challenging. These high expectations are met as pupils achieve well in many areas of the curriculum. In the past, pupils' achievement in the mathematics national tests was not reflective of the school's aspirations. The school has addressed this effectively. Current pupils demonstrate improvements in their understanding of mathematical knowledge and skills. Pupils behave well. The school's clear behaviour policy helps pupils to know what it means to be 'ready, respectful and safe'. Staff apply the rules fairly, so pupils know what will happen if they do not meet expectations. Most pupils show positive attitudes in lessons and around the school. When pupils need extra help to manage their behaviour, the school provides effective support to help them to succeed.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, teaching does not provide enough support for pupils to apply their prior knowledge in their new learning. In some instances, this limits pupils' understanding of new concepts and results in gaps in knowledge and understanding. The school should continue to ensure that pupils are supported to apply prior knowledge when learning new ideas so that they learn and achieve consistently well across the curriculum.
- The rate of persistent absenteeism remains high for some pupils. This limits these pupils' access to the curriculum and the wider experiences the school offers. The school should continue to strengthen its strategies to engage families and improve attendance for these pupils.
