What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 June 2024
Rawdon Littlemoor Primary School puts the pupils at the heart of everything it does, from the ambitious curriculum to the extensive personal development offer. The school has high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). These expectations are realised as pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education. Adults know children and their families well. They foster nurturing and positive relationships. Pupils enjoy coming to school. They are happy in a school where they feel safe. Pupils behave extremely well. They show very positive attitudes to their learning. In lessons, pupils are eager to contribute and share ideas. Older pupils thrive in a wide range of leadership roles. In these roles, they develop confidence and relish the important responsibilities they are given. Pupils apply for 'jobs' such as 'Personal Assistants' to staff and leaders. Mental health ambassadors prioritise and vouch for the well-being of their peers. Key stage 2 'buddies' are positive role models for children in early years. School councillors contribute positively to planning for school improvements. These responsibilities prepare pupils well to be active members of society.
What the school should improve
- Despite strong outcomes in early reading, there is some variation in the methods used to teach the phonics programme. This means that some pupils could find it difficult when they move between groups. The school needs to ensure that phonics strategies are consistently applied in all contexts.
- Some aspects of the wider curriculum such as the teaching of disciplinary knowledge are not as developed as they could be. This affects pupils' depth of learning. The school should further develop the curriculum so that pupils learn well in all subjects.
