What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 December 2024
Parkfield Primary School is a happy place to be. The school's values underpin the respectful relationships that make it a great place to work and learn. Pupils show good manners as a matter of course. For example, they hold doors open and ask how you are. Right from the early years, children collaborate well and show kindness to each other. They say that there is little bullying and that they would feel confident to report any concerns to an adult and through the worry boxes or online alert button. The school is ambitious for its pupils. Pupils respond well to these high expectations and typically learn well. They focus in lessons and apply themselves to their work. From Nursery onwards, children are encouraged to be active learners, developing confidence and concentration. There are equally high expectations of behaviour. Lessons proceed smoothly because adults are vigilant and give gentle reminders where necessary to keep all pupils on track. Routines, such as lining up at lunchtime and after breaktime, are well established. Pupils respond well to these routines and reminders. They appreciate the opportunities to take up leadership roles, such as on the school council or through encouraging their peers to eat healthily on 'Tasty Tuesdays'.
What the school should improve
- On occasion, in some subjects, adaptations for pupils with SEND and pupils at the very early stages of speaking English as an additional language are not as effective as they could be. This means that some pupils do not achieve as well as they could. The school needs to ensure that adaptations for these pupils are consistently effective in all subjects so that pupils can achieve highly.
