Wentworth Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 2 March 2023

Pupils are incredibly proud to attend Wentworth Primary School. They know and understand their school rules to 'be kind, be safe and be responsible'. Pupils work hard in lessons to ensure they are 'striving for excellence'. This attitude helps them to achieve well and reach the high expectations that staff have of them. Pupils appreciate the numerous learning opportunities they have within and outside the broad curriculum they learn in school. Trips, visitors and events, for example Viking Days, add to what pupils learn in lessons. Pupils enjoy the opportunities they have to learn musical instruments and represent the school in sporting events. They also value the chance to hold positions of responsibilities, for example as peer mediators or as members of the eco-council. Pupils behave well during lessons and when on the school playground. They look after each other and include each other in the games they play. Older pupils are proud to act as 'buddies' for younger pupils in school. This helps to develop relationships and teaches older pupils how to be responsible role models. Bullying is very rare. Should it happen, staff are quick to deal with it. Pupils are happy and safe at school.

What the school should improve

• There are some inconsistencies in how teachers check what pupils have learned. This means there are occasions when staff do not identify or address misconceptions. Leaders must ensure there is a consistent approach to checking what pupils know and have remembered so that pupils secure a deep understanding of the planned curriculum.
