What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 April 2025
Thongsley Fields Primary School is a welcoming school where pupils are happy. They show respect and kindness towards one another. Pupils behave well. They embrace and show the school values of 'being ready, respectful and safe'. Staff provide clear routines and apply the school's high behaviour expectations. Staff are caring and approachable. Pupils know who to talk to if they have a concern, and as a result, pupils feel safe. Pupils enjoy a wide range of additional opportunities. Clubs including sports and arts are well-attended and much loved, for example the 'Dragon Puppet' Club. These extra- curricular activities allow pupils to explore their interests, build friendships and develop new skills beyond the classroom. The school is ambitious for all pupils. It sets high expectations for pupil achievement. Published outcomes confirm that pupils achieve well in most subjects. The vast majority of pupils attend school regularly and on time. They enjoy doing so. Pupils share their learning enthusiastically with others, including visitors to the school. Reading is at the heart of the curriculum. Pupils enjoy reading and talk passionately about their reading experiences. They value the author visits and activities that help to bring the books they read to life.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the key knowledge that pupils should learn is not clearly identified. This limits how well pupils build their knowledge over time. The school should ensure that key knowledge is clearly identified across all subjects, allowing staff to check that pupils are learning this knowledge effectively and ensuring any gaps in knowledge can be addressed.
- On occasion, pupils who are on part-time timetables do not access full-time education in a timely enough manner. This delay prevents some pupils from fully benefiting from the high-quality curriculum. The school should review its process for transitioning pupils from part-time to full-time education so that they can access the full curriculum without unnecessary delays.
