What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 July 2024
Swillington Primary School continues to improve at a rapid pace. The school delivers a broad and balanced curriculum that is designed to meet the needs of its pupils. This is skilfully taught by well trained staff. There are a small number of subjects that are still being developed by the school. However, pupils achieve well in most subjects. In line with the school's motto, the staff aim to 'find the talent in everyone.' As such, pupils' achievements are celebrated by the whole school community. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. Staff have high expectations of pupils' behaviour and conduct. Pupils meet these expectations. Bullying is incredibly rare, and pupils play well together during social times. Pupils' wider personal development is a sharp focus for the school. The school ensures that pupils are expertly prepared for life in modern Britain. Pupils have a strong understanding of different faiths and cultures. The school day is organised to ensure that all pupils benefit from a wide range of enrichment opportunities. This includes learning sign language, first aid, music and cooking. The careful consideration that leaders give to pupils' personal development is noteworthy.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the curriculum is still being developed. This means that pupils do not consistently build a deep body of knowledge in these subjects. The school should continue to develop the curriculum and support teachers to choose the most appropriate and effective methods to help pupils learn in these subjects.
