What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 July 2024
Vale View Primary is a nurturing, friendly school, where pupils embody their motto and 'strive for excellence'. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are well cared for and valued. Pupils have benefited from the positive changes that the school has made to the curriculum since the previous inspection. As a result, most pupils meet the school's high expectations for their academic success. Pupils, including those who are disadvantaged, produce work of high quality that demonstrates their understanding of what they have been taught. Pupils are eager to talk to visitors about what they have learned. Children in the early years, and pupils across the rest of the school, including those in the specially resourced provision for pupils with SEND (specially resourced provision), benefit from the positive relationships that they form with staff. Pupils are attentive in lessons, and they work hard. Pupils are kind and caring towards one another. They feel happy and safe in school. Pupils have high aspirations for their future careers. They carry out their roles of responsibility diligently. Pupils take part in democratic elections and interviews to become school councillors and well-being or sports ambassadors. This helps to prepare them well to be successful citizens of the future.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, teachers do not use assessment information well enough to address gaps in pupils' learning. This makes it difficult for pupils to build new learning onto what they already know. The school should ensure that teachers use the information that they gather from their checks on learning to reshape their teaching to help pupils learn all that they should.
- Some pupils do not read regularly enough. This means that they do not consolidate their reading knowledge well enough. The school should ensure that pupils receive regular opportunities to practise their reading so that they become confident, fluent readers.
