What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 February 2025
Pupils are happy and safe at Radleys Primary School. They school is a positive environment in which to learn. Pupils are respectful of adults, each other and school property. They say, 'adults listen and make time for us'. The school's work to ensure pupils attend school regularly and on time is rigorous. Pupils enjoy attending. They achieve well from their starting points. The school has high expectations for pupils' behaviour and conduct. Staff apply these expectations consistently and fairly. Pupils say that caring staff make sure 'we do the right thing'. Pupils know and follow the school's 'golden rules'. They listen attentively, persevere and try their best in lessons. Sports leaders and playground leaders support other pupils to play well together at social times. Occasionally, if things go wrong, adults are on hand to help pupils to resolve any issues successfully. The school's '101 things to do before you leave' offer promotes excitement, develops resilience and deepens learning of the curriculum. Pupils value opportunities to play a musical instrument, perform in the choir, go on theatre visits and work with the school's sports coach. They proudly take on responsibilities in school, such as eco-warriors, librarians, classroom monitors and well-being leaders.
What the school should improve
- There are some inconsistencies in the teaching of early reading. Occasional mispronunciations of pure sounds by staff or pupil errors in the application of phonic knowledge when writing, go unchecked. This hampers the speed at which some pupils learn to be fluent readers. The school should ensure that staff have the knowledge and skills to teach early reading consistently well across groups, as the school intends.
- Checks on how well pupils learn the curriculum in a few subjects are variable. This means that the school cannot be assured of how well pupils are learning the school's ambitious curriculum in these subjects. The school should ensure that checks on how well pupils learn the curriculum are consistent in all subjects, so that pupils' learning builds on what they already know and they remember more of the school's ambitious curriculum.
