What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 October 2022
Pupils are happy at Pinfold Street Primary. They enjoy school, and they work and play well together. Pupils show respect and care for each other. This is a school where nurture is at the centre of learning. Pupils behave well in classes and on the playground. They are polite and wait for adults to pass as they move through corridors. Pupils are proud of their school and all that it offers to them. Pupils say bullying does not happen very often because bullying is not allowed. Pupils learn how to manage their feelings. They work together to resolve differences. Pupils trust adults in school to help them sort things out. Leaders prioritise the development of communication skills. Staff encourage pupils to express how they are feeling and why they are feeling that way. Pupils show respect for each other. Leaders have high expectations of all pupils. The curriculum provides pupils with high- quality education and develops their aspirations for the future. Enrichment is provided within and beyond the school day. Pupils are enthusiastic about the school farm, art, forest school, woodlands school, music and the range of sports on offer to them. Pupils eagerly anticipate residential visits in Years 4, 5 and 6.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, not all subject leaders have a secure knowledge of how their subject relates to learning in the early years. This means that pupils do not build on their learning as effectively as they should. Leaders should take further action to ensure the curriculum is seamless from the early years to Year 6 in all subjects so that pupils use their prior learning well to make good progress.
- Teachers' assessment in some subjects is not always providing them with helpful information about pupils' next steps. Therefore, gaps in pupils' learning are not always identified and addressed. Leaders should ensure that assessment in all subjects is helpful in addressing any gaps in pupils' understanding and precisely planning the next steps in learning.
