What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 July 2022
Pupils thrive at Somers Park Primary School. They value their education and build many happy memories during their time at the school. They are proud of their achievements and are eager to explain why their school is so special to them. Pupils get on well together. They form strong friendship groups. They look after one another and go out of their way to include others in their play. This makes the school a happy and caring place. Bullying is rare. Pupils feel safe and trust adults to resolve matters quickly when friends fall out. Adults know pupils very well. They have high expectations for each child and ensure that all pupils study a broad range of subjects. Most pupils are keen to learn and take an active part in lessons. Leaders' work to develop pupils' talents, interests and character is exceptional. They think very carefully about pupils' interests and needs before arranging clubs, activities and educational visits. All pupils are encouraged to take part in these opportunities and the vast majority do. Pupils are included in making important decisions. Some represent their classes as members of the 'Pupil Parliament', whilst others represent the school as 'Subject Ambassadors'. Pupils have shared many positive ideas that leaders have put into action.
What the school should improve
- The key information that leaders expect pupils to know and remember is not identified as clearly as it might be in a small number of subjects. This limits pupils' learning in those subjects. Leaders should ensure that the knowledge and skills that pupils are expected to learn is set out clearly in all subjects.
- The school's approach to assessing what pupils know and remember is not yet fully developed in some subjects. This makes it harder for leaders to review the progress that pupils make through all the curriculum. Leaders should improve this to ensure they know how well pupils are progressing in all subjects.
