What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 27 June 2023
Stokes Wood Primary is a caring and inclusive school where pupils are happy and keen to attend. They say they enjoy lessons because 'we learn a lot'. The school's motto, 'What we do today, matters tomorrow', underpins its focus on developing pupils' character and attitudes. Pupils work hard on their '6 Rs' of resilience, readiness, responsibility, reflectiveness, risk-taking and resourcefulness. Teachers have high expectations of behaviour. Pupils respond well to these expectations. Classrooms are calm and purposeful. Pupils say that bullying does not happen very often at this school. They say that if it does happen, teachers deal with it well. Pupils are respectful of each other's differences. They say that everyone is treated equally. One pupil summed up the views of many, saying, 'There are no outsiders here.' Pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), appreciate and enjoy the wide range of activities on offer. Year 3 pupils are looking forward to their upcoming camping experience. Pupils have the chance to take on extra responsibilities, such as being members of the school council. The choir sings at a local care home and pupils raise money for charity. There are close links with local universities.
What the school should improve
- In a few foundation subjects, leaders have not identified the precise knowledge that pupils need to know and remember. Consequently, teachers cannot check on what pupils have learned as well as they could. Leaders need to ensure that the key knowledge is identified in all subjects so that teachers can check on what pupils understand and can remember.
- In some foundation subjects, leaders do not monitor how well teachers implement the curriculums. When this is the case, the quality of pupils' learning can vary. Senior leaders should make sure that subject leaders have the time to check precisely how the intended curriculum is being implemented and that it is having the maximum impact.
