What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 March 2024
Nocton Community Primary School is a small school with a big ambition. It lives out its vision of 'Opening Doors and Opening Minds'. Parents and carers commented on how the school is at the heart of this community. They value the staff and what they do for their children and say that every child is 'celebrated' as an individual. Pupils perform at the local care home and support the 'Random Acts of Kindness' in the village. Pupils are very proud of their school. They behave well because they know it is the 'right thing to do'. Play times are social occasions and pupils enjoy playing together and look after each other. Pupils feel safe and know that there are trusted adults they can talk to if they have any worries. When the occasional fall out happens, the 'Well-being Warriors' help to quickly resolve it. The personal development offer of the school is of high quality. Pupils' interests and talents are well catered for. Sporting events are carefully planned to meet the needs of all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They enjoy the enrichment opportunities provided to them, such as visiting local farms and the Galleries of Justice.
What the school should improve
- In some lessons, the curriculum is not adapted as successfully to meet the needs of all the learners as it could be. This means that some pupils with SEND are not learning the intended curriculum as well as they should. The school should continue to further refine their curriculum adaptations and implementation so that all pupils succeed well.
- In the EYFS, staff do not always match their implementation of the curriculum to the learning needs of the children. As a result, some children are not always being taught specifically to meet their learning needs. Leaders need to ensure that the curriculum planning makes clear the desired implementation so that all children can achieve their potential.
