What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 16 May 2023
Pupils and staff at Seven Hills Primary School feel like they are part of one big family. The school lives up to its motto, 'a place where everyone is valued'. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are extremely well supported. Staff have high expectations of behaviour. Pupils rise to meet these expectations well. Behaviour in lessons is calm and purposeful. At social times, pupils play well together. Bullying is very rare. Pupils feel confident about reporting concerns. Teachers address behaviour issues quickly and effectively. Leaders work with external providers to enhance the school's extra-curricular offer. For example, Leeds United Football Club, visit the school and work with pupils. Leaders understand the importance of supporting pupils' mental health. The school is a recognised 'Mindmate' champion. Pupils have a wide range of opportunities to lead in school. For example, a working group look at food waste management and plan menus with the kitchen team. Pupils are very proud of taking on leadership responsibilities. They rise to the challenge well.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, leaders have not broken down the small steps in learning or made clear which aspects are the most important for pupils to remember. Pupils do not make links across the curriculum as effectively as they could. Leaders should make sure that the small steps are clear and that the most important knowledge is identified and assessed.
- Pupils know it is important to respect everyone in the community and wider world. However, they do not remember enough about other faiths and cultures. Leaders should develop strategies to help pupils better remember this aspect of the curriculum.
