Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

Oldfield Primary is a calm, safe school where your child will be well-behaved and engaged in learning. The school knows families well and provides excellent support for children with additional needs or challenging circumstances, including those facing barriers to attendance. Strong pastoral care and a broad curriculum covering health, wellbeing and cultural understanding prepare children well for life outside school.

Key Strengths

  • Strong safeguarding culture with effective pastoral support and tailored interventions for pupils with additional needs
  • Calm, orderly classrooms with positive behaviour and high pupil engagement
  • Effective work improving attendance, which is now in line with national figures
  • Well-designed personal development curriculum covering health, safety, cultural diversity and British values
  • Early years provision effectively prepares children for Year 1 with focus on language and communication

Areas for Improvement

  • Inconsistent teaching quality and subject knowledge across classes, particularly affecting writing and number facts
  • Pupils' achievement in phonics (Year 1) and multiplication (Year 4) below national averages
  • Gaps in pupils' knowledge across subjects limiting their readiness for more complex learning
  • Recent staffing changes (many new teachers) slowing pace of curriculum implementation
  • Data and information not analysed systematically enough to drive rapid improvements

Safeguarding

Safeguarding standards are met. School has established an open culture where safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and pupils feel safe.

Extracurricular Activities

Music clubs, art clubs, sports clubs, educational visits in the local area

Oldfield Primary School provides a safe, calm learning environment where pupils are well-behaved and engaged. However, achievement is not yet at the expected level, with inconsistent teaching and gaps in pupils' knowledge in key areas like phonics, writing, and number facts.
