What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 5 November 2024

Nanaksar Primary School is a peaceful and nurturing environment for pupils. As soon as pupils start school, staff focus on developing their emotional regulation and well-being. Staff provide high-quality pastoral care, and pupils know they can rely on them to help resolve any issues or worries. As a result, pupils are kept safe, feel well cared for and are happy. Staff have high expectations for pupils' behaviour. Pupils are keen to rise to these. Relationships across the school community are very supportive. The school organises a range of opportunities to prepare pupils for life in modern Britain. This includes the curriculum for personal development, which is a strength of the school, as well as the school's 'SHARE' values, which are well understood by staff and pupils. Pupils are polite and well mannered as a result. The school is ambitious for what pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), should learn. Staff have rightly focused on developing the school's curriculum in each subject. Because of this, most pupils progress well through the curriculum.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, routines for checking pupils' understanding are not implemented consistently. This means that some pupils' recall of what they have been taught is not as strong as it could be and hinders their progress through the curriculum. The school needs to ensure that all approaches to assessment are applied consistently across the curriculum.
  • Governors have limited insight into the quality of the school's curriculum beyond English and mathematics. This means that they are not as well placed to hold leaders to account effectively and are not sufficiently informed about how well recent curriculum changes are being implemented. Governors should review how they oversee the work of leaders and implement systems to assure themselves of the quality of education across the curriculum.
