What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 January 2023
Pupils are happy and feel safe at William Macgregor Primary School. They come through the school gates with smiles on their faces. Pupils and their parents know that the adults at school are always there to help and support them. This school is very much at the heart of the community. Pupils behave well and poor behaviour is rare. If bullying occurs, adults deal with it very quickly. This means that the school is a calm and purposeful place to learn. Pupils are confident, enjoy talking about their learning and display positive attitudes in class and around school. Leaders have high expectations for all pupils and want them to do their best. Adults support pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) well to help them keep up with their peers wherever possible. Leaders are passionate about ensuring all pupils experience the whole curriculum. Leaders place a particular focus on encouraging pupils to talk about their learning and to explain their thinking. Through regular structured conversations, pupils demonstrate a strong understanding of what they learn.
What the school should improve
- Teachers do not always have high enough expectations of the work that pupils produce. This means that teachers accept work which is of inconsistent quality and does not reflect how well pupils are learning. Leaders should ensure that teachers have consistently high expectations, so that the quality of pupils' work is improved. This will ensure that pupils are better prepared for their next stage of education.
- Sometimes learning is made more complicated by the use of digital devices. As a result, pupils occasionally become confused about what they are learning. Leaders should ensure that the most effective strategies are used in lessons to maximise pupils' learning.
