What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 June 2024
Whiteshill Primary School is a vibrant and happy place to learn. Pupils say that this is a school where pupils 'come together and do not leave anyone out'. The school is ambitious for all pupils to achieve well. This ambition is brought to life through the school's values, 'curious, unique and together', which form the bedrock of this school. These values are threaded through the school's thoughtfully planned wider experiences. The school has used the NHS '5 ways to well-being' to structure this offer. Pupils create art exhibitions to depict what makes them happy. They 'get active' through fencing, archery, skateboarding and scootering. A strong emphasis is placed on interaction with the local community, such as singing at the parish council and local nursing home. Pupils also engage with the local playgroup to construct toy cars out of cardboard and wood. Older pupils create their own clubs for younger pupils to enjoy, such as Lego and cheerleading clubs. Pupils feel safe and know that caring staff will help them if they have any worries. Staff make behaviour expectations clear. Pupils behave well because they know it is the right thing to do. They are polite, well-mannered and articulate.
What the school should improve
- In a small minority of subjects, there is not sufficient emphasis on disciplinary knowledge. This means some pupils do not have a secure understanding of how these subjects are studied. The trust should refine the curriculum further so the progression in disciplinary knowledge is clearer for pupils to be able to build this knowledge in readiness for their next stage of learning.
