What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 28 September 2022

Randlay Primary school is a place where pupils come first. There is a nurturing ethos throughout the school. Pupils are happy to come to school and they feel safe. Staff have high expectations for the behaviour and attitudes of pupils. They provide support to help pupils reach these high expectations in lessons and throughout the day. Pupils who use the sunshine room enjoy their time there. Pupils say that there is no bullying at their school. Leaders make sure that they stop any unkind behaviour as soon as they know about it. Pupils enjoy an engaging curriculum. For example, they speak with enthusiasm about their outdoor learning where they can work with nature. Pupils know and remember a lot about what they learn across the curriculum. They are also making connections across their learning. Most pupils read well for their age. However, some pupils do not read as fluently as they need to. Pupils enjoy a range of opportunities to develop their talents and interests. They enjoy sports, music and cooking clubs. The wider curriculum also gives pupils cultural experiences, such as visiting the theatre and trips to local places of natural beauty.

What the school should improve

  • For a small number of pupils, the curriculum in early reading has not met their needs. As a result, they cannot read fluently or confidently. Leaders should ensure that these pupils receive effective support to enable them to read with increased fluency and confidence.
