What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 September 2023
Shenley Primary School is a friendly and inclusive school. Pupils benefit greatly because adults know them and their families well. There is a strong sense of community despite the many changes in leadership over the last few years. Pupils behave and learn well because leaders have set high expectations. Pupils are calm and polite. As a result, pupils feel safe. Visits from the police help pupils to learn about the possible dangers while in their community. They learn how to keep themselves safe, including when online. Pupils with additional needs, including special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), receive effective support so that they take part in all aspects of school life alongside their peers. Pupils are very proud of their school. Older pupils look out and care for younger pupils. Pupils enjoy learning because they study a broad and exciting curriculum. They value opportunities to take on leadership roles, such as house captains and play leaders. Pupils have mature attitudes towards equality. They know it is okay to be themselves. They trust adults will listen to them and respect their opinions.
What the school should improve
- Not all adults have had training to provide high-quality support for pupils who find reading difficult. This means that some pupils do not receive the precise support they need. They do not catch up quickly enough. Leaders should ensure staff receive training to develop their expertise.
- The school has undergone a period of significant change. This has led to some parents losing faith in the school and not fully understanding the vision of the school. Leaders should ensure they work closely with parents and carers to develop positive and trusting relationships that will result in a shared vision to achieve the best outcomes for all pupils.
