What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 May 2023
Stockton-on-the-Forest Primary School is at the heart of its local community. Leaders have created a friendly and welcoming place for pupils to live out the school's ethos: 'happy, healthy, learning for life and caring for all'. Parents and carers value the family feel of the school. They receive regular communication from leaders, which keeps them informed about what is going on. Many parents who provided feedback to inspectors commented positively about both the academic and pastoral support their child benefits from. This helps pupils to learn and develop friendships at school. New pupils settle quickly and enjoy coming to school. Leaders have high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Pupils know what is expected of them. Pupils are polite and courteous. They conduct themselves well in lessons and when moving around the school. At breaktimes, pupils play well with those in different year groups. Older pupils are positive role models to others. Incidents of bullying are rare. Leaders regularly analyse patterns of behaviour and are alert to any potential escalation of incidents that may constitute bullying. Pupils are confident that if they had a concern, an adult would quickly deal with it.
What the school should improve
- In Reception, the outdoor environment does not reflect leaders' ambition for the curriculum. There are missed opportunities to deepen children's learning. Leaders should continue to improve the outdoor area in order to maximise children's learning opportunities.
- Opportunities to support pupils' personal development beyond the academic curriculum are not fully realised. Some pupils do not benefit as much as they could from opportunities to enhance their broader development. Leaders should continue to implement a coherently planned programme to support pupils' broader development.
