What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 16 May 2023
Parents are overwhelmingly positive about their children's experiences at Victoria Junior School. Staff know the pupils well and put them at the heart of everything they do. The school's vision and values are evident in the day-to-day life of the school. Leaders expect pupils to work hard and show care and respect to others. Pupils feel happy and safe in school. Pupils say that bullying does not happen. If an incident occurred, pupils are confident that adults would deal with it quickly. There are warm relationships between adults and pupils. Leaders provide pupils with leadership roles in school. Members of the school council prepare their own manifesto to present to their peers. Pupils promote respecting differences through information on displays and speaking in assemblies. Members of the pupil council described their school as 'just an all-round great school'. Adults go above and beyond to develop pupils' personal development. Leaders plan many different experiences so pupils can develop new skills. This helps to ensure that pupils are ready for the next stage of their education. These include raising money for Ukraine, working with Leeds Catering Team to become food ambassadors and developing their enterprise skills at the Christmas fair. Pupils are first-aid trained and know how to use a defibrillator in an emergency.
What the school should improve
- In some lessons for reading and mathematics, activities are not tightly focused on what pupils need to learn next. This means there are missed opportunities to develop pupils' thinking and build on what they already know. Leaders should ensure that teachers provide pupils with opportunities to further develop their thinking and make connections to their prior learning.
