What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 March 2023
Everyone cares for each other at Weaver Primary. This culture is evident from the way leaders greet every child by name as they arrive each morning, to the way Year 6 pupils help new Reception pupils settle in as easily as possible. Pupils enjoy learning. They are keen to get involved in learning activities and follow instructions quickly. Cooperative learning is important and pupils visibly enjoy working together. The school environment is vibrant. Displays are used to reinforce important social and academic learning. Staff have high expectations of behaviour, and pupils willingly follow the 'golden rules'. They know these are important for the safety and well-being of everyone. Pupils are assured that any instances of bullying will be dealt with effectively and discreetly by staff. All pupils attend residential trips in Years 2, 4 and 6. These opportunities support the development of key life skills. Pupils are encouraged to be active, caring citizens and are eager to help others. For example, pupils recently led an impressive fundraising campaign to support those people affected by the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. Parents and carers value the caring ethos of the school and the impact it has on their children.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the blocking of the curriculum does not always help pupils to remember the content they have been taught over time. As such, pupils do not always connect knowledge and see how their current learning fits into the bigger ideas in a subject. Leaders should ensure that learning is organised in a way that enables pupils to build the cumulative knowledge required for successful future learning.
- There are a few occasions when staff do not teach phonics with complete consistency in accordance with the school's new scheme. This means that some pupils do not progress in learning to read as quickly as they could. Leaders should ensure that all staff are confident and consistent in their delivery of the new phonics programme.
