What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 November 2022
Pupils enjoy coming to Salterhebble Junior and Infant School. They try hard to follow the school values of independence, confidence, aspiration, resilience, respect and excellence. They are proud to wear the hummingbird badge which represents these values. Leaders have high aspirations for every pupil. They encourage everyone to 'dream it, believe it, achieve it'. The curriculum is broad and interesting. Pupils enjoy learning and discussing what they know. Teachers help pupils learn the vocabulary they need to do this well. This helps them to learn more. Assessment is used well in some subjects but needs developing in others. Behaviour in lessons is good. Bullying is extremely rare. Staff address any poor behaviour effectively. At breaktimes, leaders provide a range of activities for pupils, both outside and in quiet indoor spaces. For example, pupils read indoors or take part in activities such as skipping or dodgeball that are organised by play leaders outdoors. Pupils play an important role in the local community. School councillors have recently taken part in a forum to improve road safety in the local area. Members of the school choir are looking forward to performing at the local hospital's planned Christmas market.
What the school should improve
- In subjects other than English and mathematics, assessment is in the early stages of development. Teachers do not identify and address gaps in pupils' knowledge precisely. Leaders should ensure that effective assessment is embedded across the curriculum.
