What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 27 June 2023
Pupils at Saltburn Primary School would highly recommend their school to other children if they moved to the area. Pupils are proud to attend here and their attitudes to learning demonstrate this clearly. Leaders have high expectations for all pupils. These are evident in both the curriculum for pupils and the support they have from teachers to develop their skills and knowledge beyond classroom learning. Behaviour in classes and around school is focused and calm. Leaders have established 'Saltburn Standards' that pupils know well. Each week, leaders make one standard a priority. Pupils rise to this challenge well. They say that bullying is not something that happens often at this school. They are very clear that if it does occur, staff are quick to deal with it. The records that leaders keep for behaviour reflect pupils' views. Pupils feel safe and know that adults are available to them if they have any worries. Learning and experiences beyond the classroom are preparing pupils well for their next steps in life. For example, older pupils can use the facilities at the secondary school, which uses the same site, to eat their lunch. Pupils enjoy a variety of sporting successes. They are proud of their recent regional achievements in cricket.
What the school should improve
- Some pedagogical choices in some subjects, such as art, do not prepare pupils well for the aims and intentions of the curriculum. Pupils do not benefit from the same carefully planned small steps as evident in other subjects to ensure that knowledge and skills are secured in the teaching sequence. Leaders must ensure that teachers make the right pedagogical choices to enable pupils to learn the most important knowledge and skills to achieve the outcomes of the curriculum.
- Some adults who support pupils learning to read do not correctly model or use phonics strategies effectively. Leaders must ensure that all adults model, use and apply the same approaches as outlined in the school phonics programme when supporting pupils to read.
