What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 February 2023
The school's values of 'being the best you can be, being kind and making the right choices' are lived up to by pupils and staff. The values help pupils to know right from wrong. Consequently, pupils are polite and kind to one another. They behave well. One pupil commented, 'School is like home, because everyone is welcoming.' Leaders and staff have high expectations of pupils. Staff ensure that pupils know the difference between bullying and falling out. Pupils say that if another pupil were to be unkind, staff would help them sort it out. Pupils feel safe at school. They said that this is because they have trusted adults around them to listen and to help them if they have any concerns or worries. Pupils are adamant that in Wheatfield Primary, everyone is treated equally. Parents say that their children thrive at this school. Older pupils are proud to take on leadership roles such as reading champions, anti-bullying ambassadors and playground leaders. They make a positive contribution to important school matters. Staff ensure that pupils' personal development, talents and interests are nurtured well.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, leaders have not made clear the precise content that pupils should know and remember. This means that key knowledge is not taught, or learned, as well as it could be. Leaders should ensure that curriculum planning in all subjects identifies the precise content that pupils should learn and understand as they move through the school.
- Leaders' systems to check and monitor the delivery of the curriculum are not carried out consistently or with enough accuracy. As a result, leaders are unsure of the impact of the curriculum on pupils' learning in some subjects. Leaders should ensure that systems are in place to routinely check that the curriculum is being delivered effectively. This will allow them to make any necessary changes to the curriculum so that pupils learn more and remember more over time.
