What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 February 2023
Pupils at Redgate Community Primary School enjoy coming to school. Leaders have established a nurturing environment where pupils feel safe and part of a caring community. Leaders have high expectations of what every pupil can achieve, including those in the specially resourced provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) (specially resourced provision). All pupils, including those in the Nursery Year and the Reception class, benefit from an ambitious curriculum. Most pupils achieve well. Leaders have established clear routines and expectations for the behaviour of pupils. Pupils have a clear understanding of the 'golden rule', which is 'to treat others as they would wish to be treated'. Pupils' behaviour in lessons and around school is calm and orderly. Pupils engage well with their learning and they are keen to present and explain the work in their books. Pupils are confident that leaders and staff will listen to their concerns. On the occasions when bullying and name-calling occur, incidents are reported and dealt with effectively by staff. Parents and carers spoke highly of the school. They recognise the academic and pastoral support that their children receive, and many described the actions of leaders and staff as going 'above and beyond'. Leaders have provided many opportunities for pupils to develop their interests and talents, including arts and crafts club, gardening club and well-being club. Pupils are keen to take on positions of responsibility.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, teachers do not check what pupils have learned and retained. Therefore, opportunities to consolidate learning and address some pupils' misconceptions are missed. This hinders pupils' learning. Leaders should ensure that assessment strategies are used well by teachers to check on pupils' learning and address any misconceptions.
