What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 June 2023
Springfield Primary Academy provides a kind and caring community. Leaders have high expectations and are ambitious for all pupils. They work hard to ensure pupils attend school regularly, are safe and taught well. In response, pupils are happy at school and enjoy attending. Each day, staff aim to bring the school motto 'inspire futures and make memories' to life. Lessons are interesting and pupils learn well. They love their new school building. Leaders make sure that pupils are well behaved. Classrooms are calm and orderly places, where pupils can enjoy and focus on their learning. Leaders deal swiftly and effectively with any incidents of poor behaviour or bullying, making sure that it stops quickly. There are positive, respectful relationships between staff and pupils. Pupils learn new skills, such as cooking, computer coding and sewing. Sport clubs enable pupils to develop physical skills and partake in competitions. Trips and visits enrich pupils' learning. For example, pupils have visited a conservation centre to support learning in science and different museums to assist history lessons. These activities also help to broaden pupils' horizons.
What the school should improve
- Some middle leaders are new to subject leadership. They do not yet have the knowledge and skills to evaluate the impact of the curriculum in their subject. This means they do not know enough about how well pupils are learning. Leaders should support middle leaders to undertake their role effectively, ensuring that they check how well pupils learn and remember the curriculum over time.
- A few staff are new to teaching phonics in school. They are not fully familiar with the school's approach to teaching early reading. This means that, at times, phonics is not taught as well as intended. Leaders should ensure all staff fully understand how to teach phonics effectively, so that any pupils who have fallen behind in reading, including those new to the school, are supported to catch up rapidly.
