What This School Does Well
Hurst Green Primary School excels at making learning fun and engaging for all pupils through well-planned, relevant tasks. The school provides excellent support for vulnerable learners, including those with special needs and disadvantaged pupils, helping them achieve well. Teachers create an environment where pupils take responsibility for their own learning and behave respectfully towards one another.
Key Strengths
- Pupils make good progress in Early Years and Key Stage 1, with attainment above average in writing and mathematics
- All pupils, including those with special educational needs and those eligible for free school meals, receive well-targeted support and achieve well
- Teaching is consistently good with some outstanding lessons that engage pupils through relevant, active tasks matched to their abilities
- Behaviour is good and often exemplary, with pupils polite, respectful and taking responsibility for their own conduct

Areas for Improvement
- Some teachers spend too long introducing tasks, causing the pace of learning to slow and pupils to sit passively for too long
- Marking, while regular and accurate, does not always ensure pupils understand their targets and what they need to do to achieve them
- Leaders need to use the data they collect more precisely to target areas of underachievement and accelerate progress
Safeguarding
Safeguarding is effective - pupils say the school keeps them safe and have a good understanding of how to keep themselves safe, including when using the internet.
