What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 22 November 2022

Pupils look after each other at Stanford-Le-Hope Primary School. They live the school's cooperative values in everything they do. Older pupils support younger pupils as 'peer mentors' and 'reading buddies'. They do this well and are proud of their work. Pupils play well together, including during lunchtimes and in the school breakfast club. Pupils know that, on the very rare occasions bullying happens, staff are quick to deal with it. Pupils behave well in lessons. Staff have high expectations of pupils and pupils work hard to reach these. Pupils appreciate the high-quality support they get from all adults in school. They take responsibility for their learning and behaviour, developing both independence and resilience. Pupils know there are trusted adults they can talk to if they are worried and that these adults will help them. Pupils are safe at school. Pupils are welcoming of everyone. They understand the importance of treating those who are different from them with respect. They enjoy the opportunities leaders provide for new experiences, such as themed history days in school. These help pupils to learn more about the subjects they study. Pupils are happy and enjoy being at school.

What the school should improve

  • In a small number of subjects, leaders have not precisely identified the most important knowledge that pupils need to learn, or the order in which they need to learn it. This means some pupils have some gaps in their knowledge and some misconceptions. Leaders must ensure that in all subjects they identify the most important knowledge pupils need to remember and the order in which this needs to be taught so that pupils develop a deeper understanding and achieve equally well across all subjects.
  • In some areas, teachers do not use assessment consistently effectively. This means they do not always adapt teaching closely enough to pupils' prior learning. Leaders must ensure that teachers use assessment practices consistently well so that so that pupils have more opportunities to embed new learning and to deepen existing learning.
