What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 September 2023
Leaders, staff, pupils, parents and governors are proud of Peters Hill Primary School. Pupils enjoy attending this inclusive school, where all can take part fully in school life and do well. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) learn, play and achieve success alongside their classmates. Pupils' understanding of equality, acceptance and the importance of welcoming others is strong. Pupils enjoy living up to the high expectations set by the school. They are polite and friendly. Pupils behave well in lessons and during less-formal times of the day. There are warm relationships between staff and pupils, and pupils know that there is always a trusted adult to talk to if they have a worry. They know that adults look out for them. As a result, pupils feel safe in school. Pupils benefit from the range of activities and extra opportunities on offer. For example, pupils can vote for school councillors or choose to be part of the 'Globetrotters' team who discuss world events. 'Class charters' help pupils to understand how rules and laws work, preparing them for life in modern Britain. Parents speak very positively about the care and support their children receive at Peters Hill.
What the school should improve
- Some pupils are falling behind at the earliest stages of reading. As a result, they are not as ready for the next stage of learning to read as they could be. The school should ensure that all pupils receive phonics provision that prevents them from falling behind in learning to read.
- The school's systems to check how the phonics curriculum is being implemented are not as robust as they could be. As a result, the school has not addressed areas for development as quickly as they could. The school should now enact the action plan very recently put together to ensure that phonics is implemented consistently well.
