What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 July 2023
Southwark Primary School is an inclusive and caring school. Leaders are ambitious for all pupils to achieve well. They have high expectations for pupils' conduct. Most pupils enjoy school. They feel well supported and cared for. The school is calm and orderly. Teachers are quick to address any off-task behaviour. This ensures that pupils' learning is not disrupted. Pupils say that teachers are fair when dealing with any behaviour issues. Pupils feel safe in school. They say that bullying happens occasionally. If it does happen, they are confident staff will deal with any issues. Most pupils are polite and courteous. There are lots of structured activities for pupils to do at lunchtime. These are well organised, and this ensures that pupils play well together. Pupils have a range of clubs they can attend. Many pupils enjoy taking part in these. For example, they go to art club, multi-sports, football and athletics. All pupils do a 'mindful moments' session every day. This supports their well-being. Pupils can contribute to the life of the school in different ways. They can be on the student council, be a well-being warrior, a litter picker and a play leader. They enjoy taking on these responsibilities.
What the school should improve
- In a few foundation subjects, curriculum plans do not precisely identify the important content pupils should remember. This means it is not always clear how lesson activities support pupils' learning, because the key knowledge is not clearly set out. As a result, in these subjects, pupils do not learn as well as they could. Leaders should ensure that the curriculum clearly sets out the key knowledge they want pupils to learn, in all subjects. They should also ensure that teachers use this information to plan activities that support pupils to know and remember more.
