Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

Quarry Mount Primary School excels at supporting the personal development of all pupils and has built exceptionally strong partnerships with parents and the local community. The school provides particularly good support for pupils learning English as an additional language and those with special educational needs. Staff work together effectively to create a welcoming, harmonious environment where children feel valued and secure.

Key Strengths

  • Exceptional provision for spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of pupils
  • Very strong relationships with parents and community who value the school's support
  • Pupils enjoy school, feel safe, and report that school cares well for them
  • New headteacher has rapidly gathered accurate evaluation and begun decisive improvement action
  • Strong sense of teamwork among staff creating a happy and harmonious school

Areas for Improvement

  • Reading attainment is significantly below national average and pupils do not read widely enough
  • Teaching quality is inconsistent with some inadequate practice limiting pupil progress
  • Marking and feedback are inconsistent and do not provide clear guidance on how to improve
  • Outdoor provision for youngest children does not adequately promote physical development or safety
  • Leadership and management have not been sharp enough in identifying teaching inconsistencies and tackling underperformance

Safeguarding

Pupils say they feel safe and that school cares well for them; safeguarding arrangements were reviewed as part of the inspection documentation.

Quarry Mount Primary School requires improvement following a decline from its previous Good rating. The school is not yet good because pupils do not read widely and often enough, teaching quality is inconsistent, and leadership has not sufficiently focused on the impact of teaching on pupil learning.
