What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 October 2023
Pownall Green Primary School encourages pupils to 'love learning, love life!'. The school has high expectations of what pupils should achieve. Pupils respond with positivity to the work that their teachers prepare for them. Most pupils achieve well across a range of subjects. Pupils understand the school's 'Golden Values'. Many of them strive to follow these in all that they say and do. They look forward to the weekly golden assemblies and take great pride in being celebrated on their class recognition boards. Pupils told inspectors how much they enjoy playing together with their friends. Any arguments between pupils are sorted out quickly by staff. Pupils said that they feel happy that staff in school know them well. They trust staff to respond sensitively to any worries or problems that they may have. Pupils make a difference to their school community through a variety of leadership opportunities, for example as members of the school council or as house captains. They are proud to make a positive difference to their local community, such as collecting food donations at harvest time for a local food bank. Pupils spoke enthusiastically about extra-curricular activities such as sewing, chess, choir and art. They are especially proud of their sporting achievements.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the most important knowledge and vocabulary from prior learning is not revisited with enough frequency to strengthen pupils' long-term memory of the curriculum. This means that sometimes pupils cannot remember what they have been taught and struggle to apply their learning in a new context. The school should ensure that the most important knowledge and vocabulary in these subjects is revisited regularly so that pupils are supported to strengthen their learning.
- The school has not ensured that staff receive the guidance that they need to adapt the delivery of the curriculum to meet the needs of some pupils with SEND. On occasions, this hinders how well some pupils with SEND achieve. The school should ensure that staff are provided with guidance to ensure that each pupil with SEND receives the support that they need to achieve well.
