What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 30 April 2024
Parents, pupils and staff are overwhelmingly positive about Westways Primary School. It is a diverse and inclusive school. The school's motto, 'We enjoy, therefore we achieve,' is at the heart of decisions made by leaders. The school has high expectations of what pupils can achieve. Pupils are happy and safe. They say that staff are fair and listen to any concerns they may have. Pupils understand the importance of the school's six core values. These include aspiration, respect and resilience. Pupils strive to achieve a 'yes ways' postcard home for bringing any of these values to life. Pupils behave well. Pupils value the rewards and awards they can achieve. Each Friday, they look forward to winning the 'dojo' mascot in assembly. Other rewards include the 'Top Dog' award for attendance and the 'Punctuality Panda'. The school offers an exceptional range of clubs and activities. These include, for example, cross-country, basketball and double bass. Pupils say, 'There is always something fun to do.' The school encourages pupils to take on responsibilities. Sports leaders run a range of clubs. Team captains promote collaboration between different year groups. Pupils enjoy being a member of a 'River Team'. They work hard as a community to achieve points towards the half-termly trophy.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of foundation subjects, the school does not identify the key knowledge sharply enough or in sufficient detail. This means that pupils do not have the breadth and depth of knowledge they need to achieve as well as they could. The school needs to continue to refine its planning for, and implementation of, the curriculum in these subjects and ensure that pupils have the breadth and depth of knowledge they need to achieve highly in all subjects across the curriculum.
