Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Positive relationships between staff and pupils are at the heart of Oldfleet Primary School. Staff know all pupils and families individually. Everyone is valued and included. There is a strong commitment to supporting pupils' emotional needs.
The school has an ambition that all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), will receive a high-quality education. In some areas, including in the early years, these high expectations are not realised. Pupils' achievement does not match the school's intentions. There is still work to do to ensure that all pupils have the breadth, and depth, of knowledge that they need to be ready for the next stage of their education.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school has designed a broad and balanced curriculum that is ambitious for all pupils, including those with SEND. From Nursery to Year 6, the school has carefully mapped out the knowledge that pupils need to learn. The curriculum is well sequenced to help pupils build their knowledge over time. In some subjects, such as Art, pupils confidently recall what they have learned. However, in other subjects, pupils find it difficult to remember important knowledge. Some curriculum leaders have not had the opportunity to check regularly how well pupils are achieving in their subjects.
The curriculum for mathematics is well considered. The school has recently made changes to how mathematics is taught in lessons. The school ensures that pupils cover key mathematical concepts. However, some pupils do not learn these concepts in sufficient depth. Too many pupils still have gaps in their mathematical knowledge.
