What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 15 November 2023
All pupils are warmly welcomed at The Beeches Primary School. Pupils live by the school's values, which include caring for each other and striving for excellence. They respond well to the high expectations that teachers have of them and settle to lessons quickly so that learning is not disturbed. Pupils enjoy a range of clubs and sports activities. They like participating in sports competitions and are proud of their successes in cricket tournaments. Pupils are pleased to represent their school in singing events. They find the many musical opportunities inspiring. A variety of trips and activities broaden pupils' horizons. Pupils learn to be good citizens. They contribute their ideas to the school council to effect change. Older pupils take their responsibility seriously. They act as positive role models and take pride in reading with younger children. Pupils are respectful and kind towards each other. They speak positively about their relationships with each other and the staff. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) take part in school life well. They benefit from time in quieter classes. Pupils are happy and feel safe at school.
What the school should improve
- On occasion, teachers do not make sufficient adaptations to teaching or fully implement what is set out in the support plans for pupils with SEND. This means that some pupils struggle to complete tasks independently during lessons. School leaders should ensure that teachers are provided with support to make appropriate adaptations to lessons and precisely follow tailored plans so that all pupils achieve the aims and ambitions of the curriculum.
- In early years, there are times when adults do not always support, guide and model new learning effectively. This does not help children to build on what they already know and can do, so they do not make the gains that they could in their learning. School leaders should ensure that they develop staff expertise so that everyone is able to contribute to creating an environment that fully supports the intent of leaders' ambitious curriculum.
