What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 November 2023
Pupils are excited and inspired by the wide-ranging opportunities offered to them at Repton Manor Primary School. An exceptionally well-developed programme of personal development offers a wealth of opportunities for pupils to explore their interests, develop independence and take on leadership roles. From Reception onwards pupils are supported to make decisions and think through their choices. Pupils learn how to keep themselves safe, including when online. Pupils know that they can always speak to staff if they have worries. They know that they will be listened to and offered help. Pupils regularly devise and participate in projects to support both their school and the wider community, for example, by volunteering at lunchtime, making bird boxes or taking part in charity work. The school has placed particular emphasis on ensuring playtimes are active and stimulating. During playtimes, pupils enjoy organising and playing sports, building structures, exploring and devising performances. Across the school, pupils are thoughtful, caring and respectful. Pupils behave well throughout the day. Expectations of learning and behaviour are high. All pupils, including those with special educational needs and /or disabilities (SEND) are supported well to meet these high expectations by kind, well-trained staff. Relationships across the school are warm and good humoured.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects the curriculum, whilst fully in place, is being restructured. The new plans are not yet fully revised so that sequences of learning align to the curriculum ambition. The school should continue to support subject leaders to refine and monitor sequences to ensure that they clearly linked to the substantive knowledge leaders want pupils to build as they move through the curriculum.
- There are occasional inconsistencies in teaching. In some subjects, teachers are not as secure in evaluating what pupils know and need to learn next. The school should continue to develop the knowledge and expertise of teachers so that teaching across the curriculum is consistent.
