Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Haworth Primary School is a friendly and welcoming place. Pupils enjoy coming to school to learn and have fun with their friends and the supportive adults. They build strong relationships and look out for one another. This creates a supportive atmosphere where pupils achieve well.
The school sets clear expectations for pupils' behaviour. This begins in the early years. Children respond well to the routines that are in place. Pupils have confidence in the behaviour systems and the trusted adults in school. This helps them to feel safe and valued.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school has created a welcoming reading environment. Class book areas, a library and a curated selection of books inspire reading. Teachers share stories in class to further promote a love of books. The school teaches pupils to read effectively. Focused training and ongoing coaching enable staff to become experts in delivering phonics. Staff quickly identify pupils at risk of not keeping up with learning their sounds. Pupils who need to build their reading fluency receive regular extra practice. Pupils use their phonics well to read words accurately. The school has recently prioritised letter formation and the use of dictation practice. This is to address weaknesses in writing. However, some pupils are moved on too quickly without having enough practice. At times, these pupils struggle when asked to respond in writing. They are not able to form letters accurately or write fluently.
