Ofsted Insights
From Ofsted's April 2025 inspection report.
What This School Does Well
Peel Hall Primary School has made meaningful improvements in how it teaches reading, with more pupils developing confidence and fluency through targeted phonics support. The school is also working hard to support all children, including those with special educational needs, and has strengthened discipline and behaviour across the school. Leaders are responsive to challenges and are working effectively with parents, governors and local services to keep improving.
Key Strengths
- Enhanced leadership team with increased capacity for support and coaching
- Effective early reading approach with improved phonics support helping more pupils read confidently
- Swift action on attendance resulting in declining absence rates
- Strengthened support for pupils with SEND through targeted identification and a new specially resourced provision
- Improved pupil behaviour through embedded expectations
Areas for Improvement
- Pupils need stronger writing knowledge with gaps in letter formation, spelling, punctuation and grammar that often go unchecked
- Key knowledge in subjects beyond English and maths is not clearly defined, leading teachers to focus on activities rather than core understanding
- Teachers lack clarity on what pupils should know in non-core subjects, making it difficult to identify what pupils have actually learned
Safeguarding
The school appointed an attendance and safeguarding leader to the senior leadership team to strengthen its work in safeguarding, demonstrating a commitment to this important area.
Peel Hall Primary School has made progress in improving since its last inspection, with leaders strengthening leadership capacity and taking effective action to address previous weaknesses. However, some aspects of the school still need further development, particularly in writing and curriculum clarity in non-core subjects.
