Ofsted's report card, in its own words
What it's like to be a pupil at Mitton Manor Primary School
Pupils enjoy their learning and generally achieve well. They gain the skills they need in English and mathematics to be ready for the next step in their education. This builds from Reception Year, where pupils secure the foundations they need in reading, writing and number. An ambitious curriculum develops pupils' knowledge and skills across other subjects. This prepares pupils well for the future. Pupils benefit from a range of trips and experiences to support their learning. For example, visits to a castle and Roman baths extend their learning in history. Pupils who face additional challenges to their learning generally receive the support that they need to achieve and thrive. Pupils feel a sense of belonging at the school. They value the warm, positive relationships they have with staff. Pupils appreciate the wider opportunities on offer. For example, they enjoy learning how to ride a bike safely on the road. Pupils are proud to represent the school in sports teams. These experiences develop pupils' cooperation and resilience. Pupils value opportunities to champion important causes, such as environmental care. ‘Happiness heroes' work with staff to promote positive wellbeing. In these leadership roles, pupils learn to help and celebrate others' efforts. Pupils behave well in lessons and around the school. They have positive attitudes to learning and are respectful of each other. Bullying is rare. Pupils learn the importance of encouraging each other and not to tolerate unkindness. Staff deal with any such issues quickly and effectively. Pupils are safe in school and confident speaking to a member of staff if they are worried about anything. Pupils attend school regularly, and absence rates are low. As a result, attendance at the school is well above the national average.
What Ofsted says the school should do next
- Leaders should strengthen further pupils' learning and achievement by ensuring that teaching consistently checks, and builds on, what pupils already know and can do.
- Leaders should ensure that teaching consistently makes the necessary adaptations for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities and other barriers to learning so that these pupils learn and achieve as well as they can.
- Leaders should use their evaluation of the personal development programme more effectively to make improvements and strengthen the programme's impact.
