What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 February 2024
Worth Primary School is a small, village school characterised by caring and nurturing relationships. Parents describe how their children 'thrive' in an environment that makes them 'excited to go to school every day and tell me about the things they have been learning'. The small class sizes and positive relationships mean that pupils are known exceptionally well and, as a result, their needs are met rapidly, both in terms of academic support and stretch, as well as their emotional and well-being needs. Pupils are proud to be members of this school community, knowing that their values of 'teamwork, confidence, respect, honesty and empathy' are essential so that everyone is happy and well cared for. Pupils behave exceptionally well and treat one another with kindness and respect. Pupils aspire to be members of the 'pupil parliament', and having roles such as 'ministers' of sport, events, learning or even the Prime Minister. Here, pupils have a voice and a vote, contributing to the life of the school, whether that is the redesigning of the school playground, the fund- raising events they undertake, or being role models for the youngest pupils in the school. This includes leading play or the 'wake up shake up' physical activities that the whole school does together each morning.
What the school should improve
- Assessment is not yet as well embedded across some foundation subjects. As a result, staff do not routinely use this information to inform the next steps of teaching in these subjects, nor do they know how much knowledge pupils have remembered over time. The school needs to ensure that all foundation subjects have a systematic approach to assessment, such as that evident in mathematics and reading, so that pupils have clear understanding of their next steps and that teachers can make precise adaptations to their teaching to support all pupils in doing well.
