What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 April 2024
There has been a remarkable shift in the culture of Ormesby Primary School since the previous inspection. Pupils now understand and follow three rules; be safe, be respectful and be a learner. Staff expect the best from pupils' behaviour and efforts. Pupils rise to these expectations. They behave well. Older pupils and staff describe the school as 'a different place'. Leaders have instilled pride and self-belief into this school community. Pupils enjoy celebrating their own successes and those of their peers. Pupils are proud of the positions of responsibility that they hold, such as monitors, librarians and playground leaders. Pupils value the reward systems in school. They work hard and enjoy spending their 'pride points'. Pupils explain that school is a place where everyone is included. This is evident from the way that pupils interact with each other. They cooperate and enjoy playing together. Adults help pupils to manage their friendships. Pupils are encouraged to discuss and resolve any disagreements. Pupils have a strong understanding of tolerance and equality. They explain this is why bullying is not a problem here anymore. Pupils recognise what bullying is. They feel confident to report it and challenge unkindness.
What the school should improve
- In some instances, teaching is not sufficiently adapted to ensure that all pupils can make progress from their starting points, particularly higher-attaining pupils. This means that some pupils could be moving through the curriculum more quickly than they are. The school should ensure that teachers are appropriately trained to adapt their teaching to ensure the progress of all pupils.
- Some disadvantaged pupils do not attend school as often as they should. This means that they are missing out on valuable learning and this is having a negative impact on the achievement of this group of pupils. There is a gap between the attendance and achievement of disadvantaged pupils and their peers. The school should continue to concentrate their efforts on securing regular attendance of disadvantaged pupils.
