What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 February 2025
Wood End Primary has high aspirations for all pupils and staff. Pupils enjoy coming to school and attend regularly. The environment is calm, welcoming and showcases children's work. Pupils express a sense of belonging. One pupil, who reflected the views of many, stated, 'We are one big community.' The school has high expectations of how pupils should behave, and pupils rise to these both in and outside of the classroom. Pupils are caring and friendly towards each other and to visitors. They are polite and respectful. They have positive attitudes towards their learning and achieve well in most subjects. Pupils feel safe coming to school and know who they would go to if they had a problem. They are confident that any issues with bullying are dealt with quickly. Pupils' personal development is a strength. They have many opportunities to take responsibility. Pupils lead lunchtime clubs such as running and basketball and take great pride in their librarian roles. Pupils take part in activities such as Shakespeare and poetry workshops and recorder recitals. These experiences help pupils to develop into confident and responsible young people.
What the school should improve
- In a few subject areas, the school has not considered well enough how prior knowledge connects to new learning. As a result, pupils do not develop the depth of knowledge intended to meet the aims of the curriculum. The school needs to ensure that the curriculum clearly and sequentially identifies the knowledge and skills that pupils should build over time.
- The school does not always check pupils' learning well enough, including in the early years. As a result, children and pupils make the same errors over time, particularly in the formation of numbers and letters. The school needs to ensure that teachers use assessment more effectively to address errors.
- Activities in early years do not always support children to develop the skills and knowledge that they need to be ready for Year 1 and beyond. As a result, children are not always strongly prepared for their next steps. The school should design activities that ensure that children acquire secure foundational skills and knowledge by the end of their time in early years.
