What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 February 2024
Robin Hood Primary is a nurturing and inclusive school. Relationships between staff and pupils are warm and caring. Staff know pupils and their families very well. Pupils feel happy and safe. One pupil commented, typical of many, 'My school is special because every single adult in the building really cares about us.' Pupils know they can talk to a 'trusted adult' if anything is worrying them. Pupils value the social, emotional and mental health support that the school offers through its nurture provision. The school is ambitious for all pupils, including disadvantaged pupils, to achieve well and reach their potential. The curriculum has a project-based, thematic approach that provides pupils with a range of rich and memorable learning experiences. Pupils value the school's range of experiences, 'Fantastic 15 for all', including, for example, visiting an art gallery and going on a trip to the beach. Pupils support each other and engage well in lessons. They are polite and well mannered. The school provides many lunchtime activities, enabling pupils to experience a positive and enjoyable lunchtime. Pupils play happily together. They enjoy contributing to school life and are proud of their roles of, for example, an art ambassador.
What the school should improve
- There is an inconsistency in how well pupils build their knowledge and skills over time, particularly in some foundation subjects. Some activities, for example, do not always maximise pupils' learning effectively. As a result, some pupils do not consolidate their learning and remember what they have been taught as well as they could. The school should ensure that all pupils, including those with SEND, are able to know, understand and do more over time in all subjects.
