What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 November 2022
Pupils at Park End Primary School are happy and safe. Leaders ensure that the school is at the very heart of the community. They understand the struggles that some families face and strive to remove as many barriers as they can for the pupils that are in their care. Pupils enjoy coming to school. Leaders ensure that children thrive in the first stages of their educational journey. Staff take every opportunity to bring delight and discovery into children's lives. Park End Primary School is an inclusive school. Leaders have designed a curriculum that prepares pupils for life beyond the school. Enrichment activities and therapies, such as speech and language support, are built into curriculum time to ensure that all pupils have opportunities beyond the academic. All pupils are given the opportunity to learn a musical instrument. All pupils have singing lessons to develop their musical skills and their ability to perform in front of a range of audiences confidently. It is inspiring to see their determination and delight as they accomplish this. Bullying is rare. Pupils understand what it is and know which adults to talk to if they have concerns.
What the school should improve
- In some newly developed subjects, such as history, key end points are not identified for every year group. As a result, teachers' assessments are not precise, and pupils sometimes repeat work unnecessarily. Leaders should ensure that assessment arrangements are refined, and all plans have the same level of precision for each year group.
- Due to the broad key stage end point in some subjects, assessment is not refined enough to ensure that pupils' knowledge is deepened every year. Leaders should ensure that checks are aligned to the expected knowledge for every year.
