What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 June 2024
Pupils at Redbridge Primary School are encouraged to 'dream big, work hard and be kind'. Leaders have set out a clear strategic vision where pupils are supported to succeed. Pupils work hard, typically achieving well across the curriculum, including in national assessments. Pupils behave well in lessons and around the school. At breaktimes and lunchtimes, they cooperate and take turns, enjoying the range of activities available to them. Bullying is rare and quickly resolved if it happens. Pupils are confident to talk to staff about any concerns they may have. The school provides a nurturing and caring environment in which pupils feel, and are kept, secure and safe. Pupils are very positive about recent changes in the school that have increased the number of wider opportunities on offer. They enjoy taking up responsibilities such as pupil advocates and play leaders. The school puts a strong emphasis on learning about and valuing diversity. Parents and carers praise the school for their caring and helpful staff and supportive community ethos. Pupils are motivated by rewards given for good work and their contributions to school life. They enjoy visits to places of interest, such as the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum, as well as places of worship.
What the school should improve
- At times, the work given to pupils does not build well on their prior learning and existing understanding. This means that, in some subjects, pupils do not develop and deepen their knowledge cumulatively. The school should ensure that the activities and resources used enable pupils to achieve consistently the aims and ambition of the planned curriculum.
- The support put in place for pupils with SEND sometimes lacks precision. While pupils receive high-quality pastoral support, the curriculum they study is, at times, not as ambitious or as broad as for their peers. As a result, some pupils do not achieve as well than they should. The school should make sure that targets set for these pupils are suitable and help them to access the full curriculum. They should also ensure that further training is provided so that staff are fully aware of how to meet these pupils' different needs.
