What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 1 April 2025

Pupils at Westglade Primary School are happy to come to school. They feel safe and enjoy being part of the school community. Lessons are calm, and pupils concentrate on their work without getting distracted. They listen carefully, follow instructions and try their best. They speak to adults and each other politely. If they are worried or upset, they know which adult to speak to and say staff will help. Pupils understand the school rules and try hard to meet expectations. They are proud of what they learn and enjoy talking about their lessons. The school's values of resilience, honesty, creativity, respect, excellence and kindness guide daily life. Pupils know and live by these values. They understand that effort matters and that mistakes help them learn. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported well. They learn alongside their friends and take part in all aspects of school life. Staff have high expectations. They help pupils believe in themselves. If pupils fall behind, support is put in place quickly, so they can catch up. Pupils achieve well. Parents describe the school as welcoming and warm. They say staff know their children well and help them to succeed. They value the range of clubs and trips on offer. Many say the school feels like a family.

What the school should improve

  • In writing, the curriculum is not as well sequenced as it is in reading and mathematics. This makes it harder for pupils to build on what they already know and use their writing skills accurately. The school should make sure that writing tasks build on each other in a clear order so that pupils can write more effectively.
  • Some staff do not have the specific expertise needed to support pupils at the earliest stages of communication. As a result, some pupils with SEND do not receive the targeted support they need to learn key language and interaction skills. The school should ensure that staff are equipped to meet the communication needs of these pupils.
