What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 November 2024
Willmore Hill Primary is a school where the ethos of 'All different, All equal' shines through. Warm and nurturing relationships exist between staff and pupils. As a result, pupils are happy and safe. The school has high expectations for its pupils. It is an improving school. Staff want pupils to do well, and pupils are keen to learn. Executive Leaders have brought about positive change. Expectations of pupils are now much higher than before. However, some improvements are in their infancy. They still need time to fully embed. Pupils' behaviour in school is impressive. They demonstrate high levels of respect and kindness towards one another. Pupils are polite and well mannered. They enact the school's core values, such as resilience. The provision for pupils' wider development is well considered. Pupils enjoy the opportunities on offer, including music and sports. These activities develop pupils' interests and talents. The school provides high-quality pastoral support to pupils and their families. It teaches pupils how to stay safe, healthy and keep active. Pupils talk openly about differences and how it is important to celebrate diversity.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects and areas of learning, the curriculum is not being delivered as intended. As a result, pupils do not gain the depth of knowledge they need to achieve well in these subjects. The school needs to ensure that the curriculum is implemented successfully so that pupils build their knowledge well.
- In some subjects, checks on what pupils know and remember are underdeveloped. As a result, some pupils struggle to recall the essential knowledge they have previously learned. The school should ensure that systems for assessments are implemented effectively so that pupils know and remember more.
- The school does not adapt learning well enough to meet the needs of some pupils with SEND. As a result, pupils struggle to learn new concepts. The school should ensure that they provide staff with the support and guidance they need to make sure pupils with SEND are supported well to learn the curriculum.
