Queen's Inclosure Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 26 September 2023

This is an inspiring and inclusive place to learn. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), benefit from the high standards that are set. They value learning about everything that the rich curriculum offers. When discussing some artwork, one pupil told the inspector, 'If art wasn't a thing, life would be plain.' Pupils behave remarkably well. They consistently follow the 'CARE' code, showing respect for everyone and treating others with kindness. Pupils have delightful manners, wishing friends and staff a pleasant day as they walk past. Pupils feel safe in this welcoming community. They know that trusted adults look out for them. They are confident to share their worries, should they have any. Breaktimes are happy and sociable occasions. Staff and nominated pupil sports leaders facilitate fun sports and games. Those who prefer to can sit and socialise with their classmates. The high-quality provision for personal development underpins pupils' successes. Pupils have a deep appreciation for different cultures and faiths. They develop an understanding of helping others through supporting local and international charities. Learning extends beyond the school building. In the outside classroom, teachers enrich learning through activities such as recreating ship burials to help pupils understand more about the Anglo- Saxons.

What the school should improve

• The school has not yet securely and consistently embedded some aspects of the curriculum across the school. As yet, in some subjects, pupils do not have the depth of knowledge and skills that leaders intend through their ambitious curriculum. Leaders should continue to embed the planned refinements to the curriculum to support pupils to achieve highly in every subject.
