What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 June 2023
Pupils are happy at St Michael-in-the-Hamlet Community Primary School. They enjoy the warm welcome from staff each morning. Pupils said that staff care for them well. They told the inspector that school is fun and that they enjoy their lessons. Leaders have high expectations for pupils' learning and behaviour, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils behave well in lessons and during breaktimes. The school values permeate pupils' everyday life. They listen to their teachers and work hard. Pupils achieve well. Pupils get on well together. They are kind to each other. On the rare occasions on which bullying takes place, leaders deal with it effectively. This helps pupils feel safe. Pupils, including those in the specially resourced provision for pupils with SEND (specially resourced provision), enjoy the wider opportunities outside of their lessons. For example, they like to select books from the 'reading hutch' in the playground. Leaders offer a range of extracurricular clubs and activities, including athletics, board games and knitting. All pupils are encouraged to attend and most pupils go to several activities each week. Parents and carers are invited to join events to learn alongside their children. These events cover a wide range of curriculum areas and have included learning about using technology safely and managing money effectively. Pupils enjoy learning alongside their parents.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, leaders have not finalised their curriculum thinking. This impacts on how some pupils learn in these subjects. In these subjects, leaders must identify the key subject knowledge that pupils should learn and the order in which this should be taught.
- In a few subjects, teachers' checks are not matched to the knowledge the pupils are learning. This means teachers do not identify and address the gaps and misconceptions that some pupils have in their knowledge. Leaders should ensure that teachers use leaders' assessments to check that pupils are learning the curriculum as intended.
