What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 March 2023
Pupils at Weston Primary and Nursery School are kind and considerate. They care for each other. The oldest support the youngest in social time and in lessons. Children in Reception and Nursery learn to take turns and share with each other. Pupils are enthusiastic about their learning. This includes those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They are proud of their work and talk about what they have learned. Pupils respond well to the routines and high expectations that leaders have for their behaviour. At play and breaktimes, pupils play together and respect one another. Bullying is rare. When it does happen, pupils know that staff will deal with it quickly. Pupils are safe. Many pupils attend the wide range of clubs on offer throughout the school year. There is a strong sporting ethos within the school. Pupils enthusiastically take part in the sports competitions that take place between schools and within the houses in school. Pupils vote to elect their representatives on the school council. This helps to develop their understanding of democracy. They also choose the charities that the school supports and discuss some of the events held in school.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, teachers do not teach all the knowledge outlined in the school's recently introduced curriculum plans. As a result, pupils have gaps in what they know and remember. Leaders should continue to provide teachers with the training they need to develop their expertise in all subjects. This will help pupils to learn the important knowledge they need for the next steps of their learning.
