Mulgrave Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 10 May 2023

Mulgrave is a welcoming school. Pupils are enthusiastic about their learning and want to do well. Leaders have developed a broad and ambitious curriculum and have high expectations for pupils' learning and behaviour. Leaders have set out the curriculum so that it reflects the diversity of the school and helps to develop pupils as global citizens. This is an inclusive community. Pupils behave with respect and kindness towards one another. Pupils know it is 'good to be green' and aspire to be so. Pupils are encouraged to work collaboratively with their peers and to help and support each other. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported to learn alongside their peers. Leaders make sure that pupils benefit from a wide range of enrichment activities, both in and outside of school. Leaders work collaboratively with local sites of heritage, as well as artists and authors, to give pupils access to rich experiences. Pupils have many adults they can speak to if they have any concerns. Pupils who join mid-year are helped to settle in and make friends quickly. This ensures that pupils feel safe and are kept safe at school.

What the school should improve

• Staff are at the early stages of receiving training to help pupils with complex needs to manage their emotions and learning. As a result, the behaviour of a small number of pupils is inconsistently managed. Leaders should ensure that staff receive sufficient training and ongoing support to help these pupils with additional needs to better regulate their behaviour.
