What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 September 2022
Pupils love coming to Pear Tree Primary School. They feel safe and well looked after by staff. Pupils and their parents and carers have great confidence in the school's leaders and staff. Pupils know that they can trust staff to support them with their learning and with any problems they face. Expectations are high throughout the school. Pupils try their best every day to live out the school's motto, 'being our best selves'. Pupils enjoy learning, whether they are in Reception, Year 6, or any year in between. Teachers ensure that learning is interesting, engaging and carefully follows the curriculum. Pupils learn well as a result. Pupils' behaviour is praiseworthy. They demonstrate excellent attitudes to learning. They are caring, polite and courteous to each other and to adults. Pupils understand the school's values, 'kind thoughts, kind words, kind deeds' and they put them into practice. Staff rarely have to apply sanctions for inappropriate behaviour. Any issues, including bullying, are dealt with quickly and effectively when they occur. There is a rich variety of activities and enrichment opportunities beyond the classroom. The school's 'curriculum pledge' sets out the enrichment that staff want all pupils to experience. Pupils take advantage of these opportunities with enthusiasm.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, staff do not have the strong subject knowledge that they need to deliver some aspects of the curriculum effectively. This means that on occasions, pupils learn less well in these subjects. Leaders should ensure that staff are supported to develop strong expertise in these subjects, so that pupils learn equally well across the curriculum.
