What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 March 2025
Pupils at Newby and Scalby Primary embody the school's DREAMS values, which include respect, aspiration and motivation. Pupils of all ages are excellent ambassadors for the school. They show respect and empathy for others. Pupils' positive attitudes contribute to the effective learning environment throughout the school. Staff take the time to get to know pupils as individuals. Pupils speak fondly of their teachers. They benefit from quality pastoral care that promotes the warm relationships between pupils and adults. Well- trained staff ensure that pupils are safe. Leaders establish high expectations for pupils' achievement. Pupils get many opportunities to work towards these high expectations. As a result, they generally achieve well. Pupils enjoy engaging lessons and complete their work to a high standard. They are able to discuss their learning in detail. Pupils' behaviour is positive. There is a tangible sense of pupils caring for one another. Their conduct around school matches the school's expectations. Where pupils may need more support around behaviour, the school has effective and sensitive processes in place to ensure that pupils get the help they need. Parents and carers are generally very positive about the school. Comments that describe 'approachable' staff and 'excited' children are commonplace.
What the school should improve
- There has been some inconsistency in how well the school identifies and meets the needs of some pupils with SEND. This means that some pupils with SEND have not achieved as well as they could in some curriculum subjects. The school should ensure that provision for pupils with SEND is effective for all pupils to achieve as well as they can.
- Subject leadership across the school is at an early stage in some curriculum areas. In these subjects, pupils do not always learn and remember key knowledge securely over time. The school must ensure that all subjects are implemented effectively so that pupils achieve highly across the whole curriculum.
