What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 May 2023
Across Walker Primary School there is warmth, ambition and a real sense of community. Leaders have the highest expectations of all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils enjoy coming to school every day and learning a wide range of subjects. Most pupils achieve well, especially in English, mathematics and science. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary in lessons and all around the school. The school is calm, and disruptions to learning are rare. Leaders promote the school's values well. For instance, staff encourage pupils to be respectful and to help each other. Leaders ensure that pupils are safe. Leaders make sure pupils have exceptional opportunities to develop their characters. They support pupils to take on many leadership roles across the school, such as reading champions. Adults have implemented a remarkably rich ethos of cooperation and harmony across the school. For instance, children from Reception through to Year 6 all play together happily in the same playground at breaktimes. Pupils look after each other here. Pupils are polite and very friendly to adults. Parents and carers appreciate the caring and nurturing environment at the school.
What the school should improve
- Leaders have recently implemented a range of new approaches to the curriculum in some foundation subjects. Teaching in these subjects does not ensure that pupils have opportunities to develop secure knowledge. Leaders should continue their work to plan, review and refine the changes they have made to the curriculum so that pupils build knowledge consistently well in all subjects.
- Leaders' use of summative assessment in a few subjects does not identify curriculum endpoints precisely. This means that subject leaders are not sufficiently clear about the impact of the curriculum on pupils' learning in these subjects. Leaders should ensure that all subject leaders sharpen assessment and monitoring systems so that they can evaluate the impact of the curriculum in these subjects effectively.
