What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 6 June 2023

Nursery Hill is a warm and welcoming school, where everyone is cherished. Pupils enjoy their time in school and feel safe, happy and valued. They are caring and considerate of others and play happily with their friends at social times and at breakfast club. Staff and pupils have a strong bond. Pupils, including those in early years, are confident to talk with staff about their concerns or worries. Bullying is very rare. If it does happen, it is quickly tackled and resolved by staff. Pupils enjoy taking on extra responsibilities, such as being members of the school and eco council. Throughout the curriculum and assemblies, leaders provide opportunities for pupils to develop an understanding of the world outside their school. Increasingly pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), have opportunities to take part in trips and visits. They have recently visited local museums and castles. Pupils are particularly excited about residential trips. Praise postcards are powerful motivators. Pupils are proud to receive one of these. Pupils show compassion for their community by raising funds for local causes and joining in with events, such as Remembrance Day.

What the school should improve

  • On occasion, staff do not reinforce the behavioural expectations across the school. This means that some pupils' behaviour interrupts their learning. Leaders need to ensure that all staff members constantly reinforce these expectations, so that pupils are able to make the most of their learning.
  • Leaders have recently made changes to the way mathematics is taught. However, teachers are not yet constantly implementing the scheme as it is intended. Consequently, there are occasions when pupils do not remember important parts of their learning. Leaders should continue to develop the delivery of the mathematics curriculum, building on the improvements they have already made.
