What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 March 2024
Stillington Primary School is a small, welcoming school that has a strong sense of community. The school focuses on creativity, diversity, sustainability and community.

They have a good understanding of pupils' needs. Pupils listen carefully to adults in lessons. They remain focused on their learning. Pupils do not have to worry about bullying. They know about different types of bullying and say that it is rare. Pupils know that if they have any concerns, no matter how small, they can talk to a trusted adult. The school is ambitious for what pupils can achieve. Leaders provide a broad range of training for teachers and leaders. Staff benefit from working closely with colleagues from other schools in the federation. Pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education.
What the school should improve
- Teachers do not use assessment information well enough to inform what they teach pupils in reading comprehension. As a result, they do not address gaps in pupils' learning. The school should ensure that teachers use assessment information to help pupils address gaps in their learning.
- The school has not identified the important knowledge pupils need in some areas of the Nursery curriculum. Although the school has plans in place to complete this work, some activities do not meet the needs of all children in the class. The school should act quickly to ensure that teachers provide activities that closely match the needs of the different age groups within the class.
