What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 16 May 2023
'A safe, happy learning environment where everyone is valued' is at the heart of Weobley Primary school. Pupils speak positively about the support they receive from staff. Pupils want to come to school because they enjoy learning, feel safe and are happy in school. A typical parent comment was that this is a 'brilliant school, with brilliant staff!'. Pupils' behaviour and attitudes to learning are generally respectful and positive. When pupils need extra support to focus on learning, staff manage this calmly and consistently. Leaders have high expectations for all pupils. They have designed a curriculum that enables pupils to achieve well, and they do. Most pupils are very enthusiastic about reading. They enjoy the many opportunities to read to an adult or to themselves. Leaders place literacy and numeracy at the centre of pupils' learning, which enables pupils to develop these skills securely. Leaders place a strong emphasis on pupils' wider development. Pupils learn about their health and well-being. Pupils develop their understanding of equality and diversity. They take part in a wide range of extra-curricular activities, including sports, musical theatre and cooking. House captains and sports leaders are proud to support other pupils. These roles help pupils understand how to be responsible.
What the school should improve
- Some teachers do not check regularly enough if pupils understand what they have to do in lessons. This means that pupils do not always start or complete their work, which can lead to gaps in their knowledge. Leaders should ensure that all teachers regularly check that all pupils know what they have to do and address any gaps in their knowledge.
- Some pupils miss too much school. This holds back their achievement. Leaders should work closely with parents and external agencies to secure more regular attendance for pupils.
