What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 June 2024
Rillington Primary School is inclusive and welcoming. The school is a calm and orderly place. Pupils are polite and friendly. The school's high standards are reflected in pupils' behaviour around school. Staff work effectively with pupils who struggle to regulate their behaviour. Pupils acknowledge that some of their peers require additional support. The school's nurturing ethos and clear expectations help pupils to manage their feelings and behaviour increasingly well over time. The school places great emphasis on working in partnership with parents and carers. Parents value and appreciate the care and support that the school provides to them. Regular communication ensures that parents know what is happening in school and what their child is learning. Staff greet families as they arrive for school in the morning. This contributes towards pupils starting their day in a positive way. One parent described the school as 'amazing'. This comment typified the views of the majority of parents who provided feedback to inspectors. Pupils recognise the improvements they have seen at the school in recent years. They benefit from the school's high expectations of them and achieve well. This contributes to preparing pupils for the next stage of their education.
What the school should improve
- Teachers do not routinely check that pupils have grasped the concepts they need to deepen their learning. When this is the case, some pupils do not fully understand how to complete a task. The school should ensure that teachers check that pupils understand important concepts and know when pupils are ready to apply their learning in different contexts.
- Some pupils do not focus fully on their work. When this is the case, pupils do not achieve as well as they could in lessons. The school should further develop strategies to enable pupils to consistently apply themselves so that they fully realise the school's high expectations of them.
