Pupils in Whitehill Primary School are safe and happy. They are eager to attend each day as they enjoy their lessons. Relationships between staff and pupils are positive, starting with the warm welcome that the pupils receive each morning. Pupils reported that they have lots of grown-ups that they can talk to in school about any worries that they might have. The school has high expectations of pupils' learning. In the main, pupils achieve well. Classrooms are calm and purposeful. In lessons, pupils are eager to share their ideas and they follow teachers' instructions well. They live up to leaders' high expectations and they are proud of the rewards that they receive for their efforts. Pupils thrive on their opportunities to learn outdoors. This helps them to work as a team, learn about the environment and it improves their mental and physical health. In addition, pupils have a wealth of opportunities to take part in extra-curricular clubs and visits. These include singing, coding, drama and dodgeball. Pupils value their busy lunchtimes when they spend time playing giant games and sports or spending time in the music area, where dancers and cheerleaders practise their routines.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, teachers do not use assessment strategies effectively to accurately identify the precise knowledge and vocabulary they want pupils to know. As a result, some pupils struggle to make deeper connections between earlier knowledge and new learning. The school should ensure that they implement the changes to these curriculums well so that pupils develop deeper knowledge and understanding of key concepts and vocabulary over time.
