What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 March 2024
Oldbury Park Primary staff and pupils share the same high aspirations. Pupils understand and follow the expectation to 'believe in best'. Respectful, caring and supportive relationships are at the heart of the school. Pupils are happy in school and support each other's needs. Pupils enjoy their time with Barney, the school therapy dog. They feel safe and they say that poor behaviour is rare. There is a purposeful atmosphere around the school. Pupils focus on their learning well, work hard and want to learn. Teachers speak calmly with any pupil who loses concentration and offer support to regain focus. Pupils' very positive attitudes, along with the well-thought-out curriculum, enable pupils to achieve well by the time they leave school. A parent comment, typical of others, is: 'Oldbury Park has worked incredibly hard to create a nurturing and supportive environment for the children who attend. The school now possesses a strong and proud community spirit.' The school prioritises pupils' personal development well. They have many opportunities to develop leadership roles. Pupil leaders organise presentations around online safety. The extra-curricular programme is rich and diverse. Pupils take part in a range of clubs such as dance showcase, enterprise and science.
What the school should improve
- Some of the key knowledge and skills in foundation subjects are not currently taught in the same depth as other subjects. This means that pupils do not learn the key knowledge and skills in these subjects as deeply as they could. The school should ensure that pupils are taught the key knowledge and skills in sufficient depth in all subjects to enable them to make strong progress across the curriculum.
- The school has not yet completed and delivered their 'reading spine' curriculum which connects reading, writing and cross-curricular learning. This means some pupils are receiving different learning opportunities than others. The school should ensure that its 'reading spine' curriculum is fully developed and embedded across all year groups so all pupils have a consistent educational experience to support their learning.
