What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 June 2024
Pupils are happy at North Walsall Primary Academy and enjoy their lessons. They feel safe in school and are well cared for. Pupils can share any concerns they have through 'in-class worry boxes'. They know the staff will follow these up sensitively. Pupils speak very highly of the support and care they receive. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They steadfastly follow the behaviour rules which form part of the 'North Walsall Way'. There are high expectations for all pupils in this school. Pupils work hard to reach these expectations. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those who are disadvantaged achieve particularly well because of the high-quality extra support they receive. Pupils are provided with many opportunities outside of lessons to build their confidence and independence. When travelling to the theatre on a school trip, pupils work out the train times and the cost of tickets. Pupils visit stores with staff and calculate which books they can afford to buy and the change they expect to receive. These activities typify the school's approach to developing life skills.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, teachers do not use assessment well enough to check on how well pupils are learning the intended curriculum. As a result, some staff do not build an accurate picture of what pupils can do and understand. The school should ensure that assessment is used well to inform pupils' next steps in learning so they make consistently good progress.
