Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

Hague Primary School excels at building children's love of reading through high-quality texts and daily reading for pleasure. The school creates a genuinely inclusive environment where all pupils, including those with hearing impairments or special educational needs, are well supported and feel safe. Staff use clear assessment information to give each child personalised targets so they understand exactly what to do next to improve.

Key Strengths

  • Strong focus on reading with high-quality texts and daily reading opportunities for all pupils
  • Effective inclusion culture with specialist support for deaf and hearing impaired pupils
  • Well-established systems using assessment data to set personalised learning targets for pupils
  • Disadvantaged pupils making strong progress in reading from their starting points
  • Effective use of pupil premium funding to support reading through small-group and individual sessions

Areas for Improvement

  • Limited opportunities for independent reading practice in some key stage 2 guided reading lessons
  • No pupils achieved higher standard in writing at key stage 1 in 2016 - work ongoing
  • Most able pupils not consistently using writing opportunities across science and topic work to develop different genres
  • Attendance monitoring procedures do not routinely analyse rates for all groups of pupils

Safeguarding

Safeguarding is effective with robust systems in place, regular staff training, strong pastoral care, and pupils understanding how to stay safe online.

Hague Primary School continues to be good. The leadership team has maintained quality education and made strong progress in reading, particularly for disadvantaged pupils, while developing an inclusive culture that effectively meets the needs of pupils with special educational needs and disabilities.
