What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 16 May 2023
Morville Primary is a friendly and welcoming school. Everyone does their best to follow the core values of respect, thoughtfulness, friendship, trust and perseverance. Parents and carers appreciate the work of leaders and staff to create a nurturing environment in which their children feel safe and happy. Pupils work and play together very well. Older pupils help and support younger ones, for example as play leaders. Pupils behave well in lessons and around school. They are polite, well mannered and listen to what others have to say. Pupils value the chance to move to 'the calm table' where adults help them to settle themselves if they feel anxious or upset. Pupils have a clear understanding of what bullying is. They say that it rarely happens because staff help them talk through any problems at an early stage. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well. They enjoy meeting the high expectations that teachers have for their learning. For example, they work hard to be the 'remarkable reader' of the week. Staff feel valued and well supported. Effective senior leaders inspire the staff's commitment to working together for the benefit of all pupils.
What the school should improve
- In this small school, the development of the curriculum has been led by the head of school. Currently, subject leadership by other staff is not developed as well as it could be. Leaders should now provide training and support for other staff. They should do this so staff develop the subject knowledge and leadership skills they need to lead the further development of a curriculum area.
- In some foundation subjects, such as geography and design and technology, teachers sometimes concentrate too much on making activities engaging rather than focusing sharply on the key knowledge and skills they want pupils to learn and develop. Leaders should support teachers to focus more on the intended learning outcomes so that pupils know more and remember more in the long term.
