What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 June 2022
Pupils are happy to attend Pye Bank Church of England Primary School. All staff have high expectations. Pupils abide by 'the five golden rules', so in lessons and around the school, it is calm and orderly. The school values also help pupils to know how to be good citizens. Pupils especially show respect and kindness to each other. Bullying is well managed if it happens. If pupils have a problem, they know to ask an adult or use the 'worry box' in their classroom. Reading is celebrated across the school. Pupils are proud to be school librarians. Their peers recognise the expertise they have about books. Pupils aspire to read as many books from the 'Pye Bank one hundred' recommended reading list. They told inspectors that one pupil had achieved this. This motivates them to read more. There are lots of roles that pupils can apply for. They can be sports leaders or a member of the 'social action group'. Here, pupils can discuss climate change and plant trees. In assemblies and lessons, pupils learn how to stay safe both in the community and online. Parents feel all staff go out of their way to help their children and are very welcoming. They say their children are happy and safe in school and inspectors agree.
What the school should improve
- Teachers cannot consistently check what pupils can and cannot do in subjects such as geography over time because they do not have an efficient system in place. Leaders should make sure that the assessment system is further developed so that gaps in pupils' knowledge can be consistently identified across the curriculum.
- Some aspects of the personal, social, health and education curriculum are not fully embedded. Not all pupils can talk confidently about relationships. Teachers need further time and more support to embed this.
