What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 December 2023
Park Street Primary is a happy place to learn. Leaders value the contributions that pupils make to the school. Pupils know that their voice matters. This inspires pupils to support their school through the many leadership roles that are on offer. Playground leaders support younger peers, showing patience and generosity. Other pupils support their school as prefects, acting as role models for others. Pupil leadership is a golden thread that runs throughout this school. The culture of respect and care that leaders have built is helping all pupils to flourish. The school makes sure that all pupils behave well. Some pupils find it more difficult to manage their feelings and behaviour than others. Adults apply consistent approaches to help these pupils to get back on track. Breaktimes are harmonious. Pupils know that adults expect them to respect each other. Pupils live this out through their caring interactions with each other. The school has established a broad curriculum for pupils to study. For example, in art pupils develop their skills using different sketching techniques. They apply these skills when developing more complex compositions. This motivates pupils to take their art further by participating in various art competitions, in and beyond school. Across the curriculum, pupils receive a rich range of experiences. Pupils are happy and safe in this very inclusive school.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects and in some lessons, the school's ambitious curriculum is not implemented consistently. The way that knowledge is shared with pupils does not help them to build a secure understanding. The school should make sure that in all aspects of the curriculum, adults introduce new knowledge and practise existing knowledge in ways that help pupils to secure their learning.
- In some aspects of PSHE, pupils' knowledge is less well developed. Pupils' struggle to remember some important aspects of their learning. The school should build on existing work to strengthen the PSHE curriculum so that pupils learn and remember the knowledge that they need.
