What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 7 March 2023

At Oldfield Primary School, there is a strong sense of community. Staff make sure pupils feel valued. Pupils say that staff listen to any worries they may have. Bullying is rare. Leaders address any poor behaviour quickly and effectively. This helps pupils to feel safe. Leaders have high expectations for pupils' learning. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff have created a curriculum that enables pupils to know and remember more over time. In lessons, pupils listen attentively to staff. They make the most of opportunities to learn. Pupils enjoy their lessons. They take pride in their work. They make sure it reflects adults' high expectations. At social times, pupils treat each other with care and respect. Older pupils support the younger children. They join in with their games and model good behaviour. All pupils can take part in visits to local cultural events and museums. Older pupils have opportunities to develop entrepreneurial skills, such as planning for a fundraising tuck shop, before they leave the school.

What the school should improve

  • Documentation for pupils with SEND does not contain sufficient information about their needs or effective adaptations that will support them. Some pupils with SEND do not make the progress that they could. Leaders should make sure that pupils' needs are clearly identified so that staff support pupils more effectively.
  • Some new curriculum leaders do not have the expertise to identify clearly in the curriculum what pupils should know and remember, and when. This means that the curriculum in some subjects does not build progressively over time, especially in some mixed-age classes. Leaders should make sure that all learning is planned sequentially to prepare pupils for the next stage of their learning. Senior leaders should ensure that all staff are sufficiently trained to lead subjects confidently.
