What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 January 2025
Packmoor is a school community that pupils and staff value and enjoy being a part of. The school sets high expectations for what pupils can achieve. Pupils reach high standards in reading, writing and mathematics. Staff have high expectations for how pupils should behave. Pupils get along well and care for each other. They behave well in lessons and playtimes. Pupils know that they can share worries with staff and that these will be acted upon. As a result, pupils are happy and safe. The school prioritise pupils receiving a broad education. They have visited Manchester airport to learn about travel and a local farm to learn about animals. Year 6 pupils take part in an annual outdoor learning residential where they complete a river study. Pupils regularly attend inclusive extra-curricular clubs, such as football, dance, choir and chess. Pupils value leadership roles, such as head pupil and school councillor. They are proud to have a positive impact on school life, for example helping to organise a Shakespeare theatre visit. They have contributed positively to the local community alongside a secondary school in the same trust. Pupils created a community cookbook and prepared a meal for others, including the Lord Mayor.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, pupils' learning is not always reviewed effectively to identify and address knowledge gaps and misconceptions. As a result, pupils do not remember key knowledge as well as they could in these subjects. Assessments should be consistently used to identify and address knowledge gaps and misconceptions across the whole curriculum.
- In a few subjects, the curriculum is not adapted effectively for some pupils with SEND. This means that those pupils do not achieve as well as they could in these subjects. The school should ensure the curriculum is adapted successfully for pupils with SEND so that they achieve well across the curriculum.
