What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 February 2023
Pupils, families and the local community are top priority at Three Peaks Primary Academy. Leaders have created a warm and caring ethos across school. Pupils feel happy, safe and welcomed every day. Bullying is rare. Unkind behaviour is dealt with quickly. Pupils share their worries in a classroom 'worry box'. Pupils are confident that concerns are sorted straight away. Leaders know their families and community well. Pupils raise money for local charities and help those requiring support. Leaders research the needs of their local area. For example, leaders have raised money to instal a defibrillator outside of the school gates. As a result, pupils learn the importance of kindness and being a good citizen. Pupils enjoy a range of responsibilities. Some older pupils are trained as 'play leaders'. They create games and activities for younger pupils to experience. Pupils grow their own vegetables. They learn about where food comes from. They donate the food to others. Pupils are taught a highly ambitious curriculum. Activities are well resourced. For example, in art and computing, they have a wide range of quality materials and programmes. However, subject specific vocabulary is not taught consistently. Pupils have gaps in their knowledge in some subjects a result.
What the school should improve
- Some subjects in the curriculum are in the earlier stages of implementation. As a result, pupils' knowledge is not secure in these subjects. They struggle to remember what they have learned previously. Leaders should continue to evaluate the implementation of the new curriculum to quickly identify and address gaps in pupils' knowledge.
- The teaching of specialist vocabulary is not sufficiently explicit in some subjects. This limits the progress pupils make in developing their disciplinary knowledge. Leaders should support teachers to consistently use subject-specific vocabulary across all subjects.
- Leaders do not consistently support specific needs of pupils with SEND. Pupils' individual support plans do not identify consistently how teachers should support specific needs for pupils with SEND. Leaders should provide training for staff, so that they are able to identify pupils' needs and plan the right support.
