What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 20 February 2024
Stechford Primary School is a welcoming, friendly school. Pupils are happy and well cared for. Staff know their pupils and families extremely well and there is a real sense of community. Behaviour in and around school is good. Pupils move around the school calmly. They are polite and helpful to visitors. Staff model their high expectations. Adults and pupils treat each other with mutual respect. The environment is bright and attractive, and displays in corridors celebrate pupils' work and efforts. This creates a purposeful learning environment where pupils thrive. Pupils feel confident to talk to adults about any concerns they may have. Staff quickly deal with any issues. This helps pupil feel and be safe. The school has high aspirations for all its pupils and its community. Everyone works hard to provide rich and purposeful experiences to widen pupils' horizons, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disability (SEND). The school ensures that pupils with SEND can join in all aspects of school life. The vast majority of parents and carers are very happy with the school, the support the school offers to their children and to them. This is especially true for parents of pupils with SEND.
What the school should improve
- The school does not have strategies in place to monitor systematically the impact of the planned curriculum. As a result, leaders cannot be sure that the curriculum is having the impact that they intend across all subjects. The school should consider how best to monitor and evaluate the impact of the curriculum in all subjects so that it can adjust it as required in order to ensure that pupils make the best possible progress.
- The writing curriculum is not as well developed as other curriculum areas and does not reflect the high ambition and expectation of other subjects. As a result, pupils receive limited writing opportunities and experiences that result in outcomes that are not as strong as they need to be. The school should further develop, then swiftly implement, its new curriculum and carefully monitor the teaching and learning of writing to raise pupils' ability to write well.
