Woodmansey Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 11 May 2023

Leaders have developed a curriculum where all pupils have the chance to succeed. The Christian values of hope, trust, respect and compassion underpin the school's key rules and responsibilities. Pupils know the key rules, which they feel are fair and help them to behave well. Pupils know to tell an adult if they feel worried about bullying. However, pupils are adamant that bullying does not happen often. This school is formally partnered with a larger local primary school. The executive headteacher and head of school have strengthened the way the schools work together to expand opportunities for pupils and staff. Leaders provide pupils with incredible memories of their primary education. Pupils take part in the Christmas concert at Beverley Minster, enjoy outdoor adventure residentials, learn to play an instrument, and participate in the international festival. The international festival is an opportunity for pupils to immerse themselves in the culture of another country. Pupils remember participating in sporting activities, cooking, art and dance, as well as learning about the geography of Canada.

What the school should improve

• Subject leaders do not have a clear enough picture of how well the planned curriculum is taught across all ages and phases. Leaders should work with subject leaders to help them to check more effectively how the subject curriculum is progressing across the school. This will help them to build on strengths and address any weaknesses.
