Parsloes Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 24 January 2023

Leaders and staff are ambitious for all pupils. Leaders expect all pupils to achieve well. The curriculum is well planned and supports the school's core values of aspiration and positivity. Pupils work hard and succeed in their learning. Pupils are extremely polite and well behaved. They are kind and caring and show respect to each other and to adults. This is because there are clear and consistent routines and high expectations from all staff. Bullying is not tolerated. Any incidents that do arise are dealt with quickly. Pupils are happy here and kept safe. They know staff will listen and help them if they have a worry. Pupils value the support available to help their well-being. For example, leaders provide calm boxes and a well-being club to help pupils regulate their emotions and understand their feelings. Pupils take pride in their leadership roles. For example, some pupils are members of 'team protect', whose job it is to find friends for those who might need someone to play with in the playground. Pupils have regular opportunities to learn about and celebrate events from different cultures. Examples include Diwali and Chinese New Year. These opportunities help pupils to understand and respect people with different beliefs and customs.

What the school should improve

• Occasionally, some pupils with SEND do not receive timely support within lessons. As a result, these pupils do not achieve as well as they could in some subjects. Leaders need to ensure that pupils with SEND receive timely support so they achieve well in all subjects.
