Rose Hill Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 2 November 2022

Pupils enjoy coming to Rose Hill Primary School. They arrive each day happy and keen to get on with their learning. Pupils said that they like their teachers and enjoy learning with their friends. They feel safe in school. Leaders have high expectations for all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). This includes pupils who attend the specially resourced provision. Children in the early years make a successful start to their education. Overall, children and pupils across the school achieve well. Pupils' behaviour and attitudes are positive. They usually behave well in lessons and concentrate on their work. Nearly all pupils respond well to the expectations set out by their teachers. Pupils who spoke to inspectors said that bullying did not happen often. Leaders deal with bullying effectively when it does occur. This helps pupils feel confident to report their concerns. Pupils learn a lot about different types of families. They understand how people are different and they recognise that everyone deserves respect. Pupils were keen to share what they have learned as part of the nationally recognised award that the school is working to achieve.

What the school should improve

• In a minority of subjects, leaders have not identified the most important knowledge that they want pupils to learn. As a result, pupils develop gaps in their understanding over time. Leaders must make sure that they have clearly identified the specific knowledge needed in these final few subjects.
• On occasion, leaders do not make sure that pupils consistently behave well. This means a small minority of pupils do not behave as they should do some of the time. Leaders must make sure that pupils are equipped to behave the way that they expect them to.
