What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 9 July 2024
Pupils thoroughly enjoy coming to school. The school's vision, 'dream and believe, learn and achieve', reflects pupils' experience during their time at Wymeswold Primary School. They value highly the wide range of opportunities they have for their personal development. These range from the school residential experience to participating in litter picking, helping to develop a strong sense of the village community. Pupils build their independence and the ability to think for themselves during their time at this school. This begins in the early years where children begin to develop their talents and learn to work and play together, both indoors and out. Pupils behave well. They listen attentively and produce high-quality work. Pupils know adults' expectations of them and are successful in meeting these. Rewards and sanctions are used fairly and consistently across the school. Pupils feel happy and well cared for. Bullying is rare and pupils know that adults will deal effectively with any worries they may have. Pupils know how to keep themselves safe, this includes learning about road safety, for example. This supports pupils when crossing the busy main road and visiting the local church. Parents and carers value the clear communication from school about their children's learning and school events. They appreciate the extra-curricular activities on offer to pupils. A large majority of parents would recommend the school to others.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, pupils are not always given the most appropriate support. This means that some pupils do not learn as well as they could. The school must ensure that the curriculum in each subject is adapted suitably to meet the needs of all pupils, including pupils with SEND, so that they can become independent, successful learners.
- In a few subjects, staff do not check carefully enough what pupils can recall from previous learning. Pupils do not build on what they already know as effectively as they do in most subjects. The school should ensure that staff check carefully what pupils know and can do, checking on misconceptions and understanding systematically to provide pupils with the next steps in learning that they need.
