What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 1 November 2023

Pupils enjoy their learning. They listen carefully to adults and their friends. Pupils try their best in lessons. They say that 'everyone helps each other'. Many pupils would recommend Nassington Primary School to their friends. Pupils are courteous and polite. They answer questions with maturity and sensitivity. They know that some pupils need help to manage their own behaviour, and they kindly help their friends. Pupils feel safe at the school. They know there are adults who are there to help. They know they can also share their worries using the 'worry box' if needed. Pupils have a good understanding of what bullying is. They say bullying is rare. They know what to do if they if they have a concern about bullying. Pupils enjoy following the well-considered curriculum. They respond positively to the challenges and expectations it provides. Pupils know the school values well. They know they are important. They vote for the pupil and the adult they feel deserve the 'values certificate' each week. Parents and carers appreciate the hard-working staff.

What the school should improve

• The school does not ensure that precise checks are made on how well pupils are learning the planned curriculum in some subjects. Best use is not reliably made of some SEND support documents to ensure provision for pupils with SEND in classrooms is as precise as it could be. As a result, the school cannot provide the support and guidance staff need to help them improve the teaching of the curriculum for all pupils. The school needs to ensure that precise checks are made on all pupils' learning across the curriculum and that staff receive the support and guidance they need to teach all subjects effectively.
