Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

Haimo Primary School excels at helping pupils make good progress from their starting points, with above-average results at Year 6 especially in mathematics. Teachers use high-quality marking and engaging activities like drama to help children learn effectively. The school provides strong support for pupils with additional needs and those eligible for extra funding, creating a respectful environment where children are keen to learn and behave responsibly.

Key Strengths

  • Pupils achieve well with attainment above national average at end of Year 6, especially in mathematics
  • Quality of teaching is good with excellent marking that clearly shows pupils how to improve
  • Strong behaviour and safety with pupils showing respect and responsibility, and attendance above national average
  • Early Years Foundation Stage children make good progress and are well prepared for Year 1
  • Leadership and management make rigorous checks on teaching quality and pupil progress

Areas for Improvement

  • Teaching is not yet outstanding - inconsistency in how teachers plan engaging activities in subjects other than English and mathematics
  • Gap remains between attainment of pupils receiving extra funding and their peers (about 1.5 terms behind in English, half a term in mathematics)
  • Parent engagement strategies have not successfully reached all parent groups in the community

Safeguarding

Safeguarding is effective - the school has appropriate policies in place and leaders deal with incidents including bullying immediately and effectively.

Haimo Primary School is a good school that has made significant progress over the last three years, with pupils achieving well above national averages by Year 6, particularly in mathematics. The school has successfully addressed previous inspection priorities and demonstrates strong leadership committed to raising standards.
