What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 December 2024
The 'LEARN' values run consistently through Richmond Primary School. These make clear that everyone is expected to learn, enjoy, achieve, be respectful and to nurture others. Pupils achieve well and do their utmost to live up to these high expectations. Pupils are happy in school. They behave well. They are attentive in lessons and orderly around the school. Breaktimes are happy and sociable occasions. Pupils remind each other of the need to be 'ready, respectful and safe'. Typically, they live up to these expectations. Pupils are motivated by the reward points on offer. They look forward to exchanging these for prizes in the school's shop. Pupils are respectful towards others. They value difference. They say that, in their school, 'there are no outsiders'. They know and show respect for the fundamental British values. Well-being ambassadors, peer mediators and the use of the buddy benches on the playground, help to ensure that all pupils feel happy and have someone to play with. Pupils take on a wide array of leadership roles. They are proud to do so. They value their 'leadership passports' that record the positive contribution that they make. The pupil 'leadership leaders' encourage and support everyone to play their part.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the curriculum does not make clear the most important content that pupils are expected to know and remember over time. As a result, pupils' recall in these subjects is inconsistent. The school should ensure that the curriculum, across all subjects, consistently makes clear the most important content that pupils are expected to know and to commit to their long-term memory.
- The school has not evaluated how well some interventions for pupils with SEND are working. This means that it does not have an incisive understanding of their impact. The school needs to strengthen this aspect of its work so that it is clear about the difference additional support is making to pupils' achievement.
