What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 September 2023
Pupils are happy to attend Withernsea Primary School. They feel safe. Adults have high expectations of all pupils. Pupils are keen to learn, and are proud of their work. In lessons, they are attentive. Pupils aspire to abide by the school values of respect, responsibility and resilience. When they achieve them, they are proud to receive an award in assembly. In the playground and in lessons, pupils are polite and respectful to others. At playtimes, pupils play well together, climbing on the play equipment and taking part in organised games. If bullying happens, adults resolve it promptly. Adults encourage pupils to be responsible citizens. Pupils enjoy taking on leadership roles, such as being school councillors and sports buddies. The school council members like the challenge of raising money for their school. There are opportunities for pupils to develop talents and interests. Pupils can attend clubs after school, such as dodgeball, drawing club or choir. The school ensures that visits are linked to the curriculum and support pupils' learning. For example, on a visit to an art gallery, pupils were inspired by different artists' self-portraits. Pupils used the techniques they had learned to draw their own. Teachers help pupils to show respect and care for everyone in the same way. Pupils are respectful of difference.
What the school should improve
- Some pupils' written work is not at the standard expected for their age group. As a result, these pupils cannot express their subject knowledge well through their writing. The school should ensure that a consistent approach to writing is embedded in all subjects across the school.
- Pupils do not demonstrate an understanding of the fundamental British values. This means that they are not fully prepared for life in modern Britain. The school needs to ensure that it identifies specific opportunities for the teaching of these values, including meaningful opportunities for pupils to embed this knowledge.
