What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 November 2022
Yearsley Grove Primary School is a happy, friendly and welcoming school. Leaders have a visible presence in school. They speak to families at the beginning and end of the school day at the school gate. Parents and carers appreciate this. The following comment typifies the sentiment of many parents and carers who provided feedback to inspectors: 'The school is a wonderful school. All the staff care a great deal about the children.' Adults know the pupils well. They develop strong, positive relationships in a caring environment. Pupils value this and benefit from it. They feel safe in school. Pupils know that they can go to an adult if they have a concern. Pupils know what constitutes bullying. Incidents of bullying are rare. Leaders act swiftly to address them when they occur. Pupils are respectful and courteous. They speak politely to each other and to adults. School routines are established. Pupils know what is expected of them. Classrooms are calm and settled places. This helps pupils to engage in their lessons. Pupils enjoy participating in a wide range of lunchtime and after-school clubs. They benefit from opportunities to participate in activities in the local community.
What the school should improve
- Some pupils do not attend school as often as they should. They miss out on vital learning and do not make as much progress as their classmates. Leaders should revitalise their work with parents to ensure that all pupils attend regularly and benefit from all that is on offer.
- Leaders do not check that what they intend pupils to learn is successfully implemented in all subjects. The curriculum content is not being delivered consistently well across the board. Leaders need to build on the effective practice in some subjects to ensure consistency across the curriculum.
