What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 March 2024
Ward End Primary School is a school where every member of staff cares deeply for its pupils. Pupils arrive each day happily. They feel safe in school because of the care shown to them and there is a strong sense of community. The school works exceptionally well to ensure there are positive partnerships between staff, parents and pupils. The school's cultural diversity is celebrated well. This encourages pupils to show respect for each other and celebrate difference. The school has high ambitions that all pupils achieve to the best of their ability. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). It also includes the high number of pupils who speak English as an additional language. The school supports these pupils exceptionally well so they can achieve the high expectations set by the school. Pupils behave well at all points of the day. They understand the importance of working hard. Pupils are not disrupted from learning because of the positive behaviour in lessons. This leads to a very calm and purposeful working environment. Pupils and staff show high levels of respect for each other. They understand how they are expected to behave and rise very well to these high expectations.
What the school should improve
- The school has not ensured that the curriculum is consistently implemented in a way that supports pupils to know and remember more. This results in some pupils not achieving the desired outcomes of the intended curriculum. The school should ensure there is consistency in the implementation of curriculum plans across all subject areas and regularly monitor that this is as intended.
