What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 17 May 2023

Pupils enjoy learning at Two Gates Primary School. It is a welcoming and respectful place. The motto 'love children, love learning' reflects the caring relationships between the adults and pupils. Pupils feel that everyone is treated fairly. Leaders are ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils say that this encourages them to achieve well, and they do. Pupils work hard to become independent learners, especially in core subjects like reading and mathematics. Pupils know that they are safe because adults manage behaviour well. Pupils respond to the high expectations leaders set. They behave well in all areas of the school. Pupils understand and follow the clear rules and routines. They feel proud when they get rewards such as 'froggers' and tokens. Pupils also enjoy the behaviour breakfasts with the headteacher. Adults help them to sort any problems out, including bullying, quickly and fairly. Pupils appreciate the school environment, which is well equipped. The grounds provide pupils with many opportunities to play and learn. Staff use the outdoor space effectively as both a learning and nurture area. Pupils can also attend clubs such as football and art. These help them to work as a team and develop their interests.

What the school should improve

  • In a small number of subjects teachers do not consistently deliver what leaders intend pupils to learn. When this happens, pupils do not remember as much key knowledge as they should. Leaders should ensure that teachers receive support and training to enable them to deliver the curriculum as intended, so pupils can build up secure knowledge over time.
  • Some parents do not always feel well informed about their children's learning or changes in the school. Leaders should improve how they communicate with parents, so they understand the work the school is doing to support their children's education and well-being.
