What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 July 2022
Pupils are proud and happy to attend Woodlands Primary School. They are positive about their learning, especially reading, which they really enjoy. Leaders have high expectations of pupils. They want the very best for them, which means that pupils' best interests are at the heart of leaders' decision-making. Leaders' recent changes to the school's behaviour system are having a positive effect. Pupils and staff worked together to create and agree on the system. Pupils say that the rewards and sanctions are improving behaviour so that learning in lessons is not disrupted. The system is flexible enough to enable leaders to make reasonable adjustments for those pupils who are more vulnerable. While there is a small amount of bullying, pupils say that this is always dealt with well by staff. Relationships between adults and pupils are warm. Pupils are well cared for through effective pastoral support. Comments such as, 'Staff's priority is to ensure children feel safe and supported', were typical of the views of many parents and carers.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, teachers do not always ensure that pupils with SEND have the precise scaffolding they need to access the curriculum successfully. This means that some pupils in some subjects struggle to know more and remember more over time. Leaders need to make sure that teachers can support pupils to follow the curriculum successfully.
- The programme to promote pupils' personal development is not always implemented effectively. This means that pupils' knowledge of some aspects of life in modern Britain is insecure. Leaders need to embed the personal, social and health education curriculum and wider opportunities to ensure that pupils are well prepared for their future lives.
