What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 September 2022
Wilbraham Primary School is a vibrant and diverse community. Pupils, regardless of their race, gender or culture, thrive at this happy and welcoming school. Pupils, including children in early years, behave well. They live up to their teachers' expectations of them, both academically and socially. They treat staff and each other with respect. They know that there are trusted adults whom they can go to if they have any worries or concerns. Pupils are confident that if any bullying happens, staff will sort it out quickly and effectively. Pupils are proud members of their school. They enjoy participating in a range of musical and sporting activities. These include learning to play the steel pans and representing the school in sporting events. Pupils appreciate the many trips and visits that leaders provide for them. Parents and carers who spoke with inspectors said that they value the strong relationships between staff and pupils. Pupils feel happy and safe. Pupils, and children in early years, benefit from a well-thought-out curriculum in most subjects. This enables pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to achieve well.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, leaders' curriculum thinking is not as well developed as in other subjects. Leaders have only recently begun to refine their curriculums in these subjects so that the most important knowledge that pupils should learn is clearly identified. This hampers how well some pupils learn in these subjects. Leaders should ensure that teachers design and deliver these newer curriculums effectively so that pupils know more and remember more in these subjects.
