Ofsted's report card, in its own words

What it's like to be a pupil at Quinton Primary School

Pupils enjoy attending this welcoming, inclusive and caring school. They attend regularly and receive effective support to overcome any barriers to attendance. Positive relationships between staff and pupils create a calm environment where pupils learn well and develop confidence. Staff know pupils and their families very well, which helps pupils to feel safe, valued and respected. Pupils take pride in their work and speak positively about their school. Most pupils achieve well and develop secure knowledge and skills across the curriculum. They enjoy reading, participate fully in lessons and show enthusiasm for learning. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, disadvantaged pupils and those who face additional challenges receive tailored support that helps them succeed both academically and personally. As a result, all pupils can participate fully in school life. Pupils' behaviour is a real strength of the school. They are polite, respectful and considerate towards others. They understand and follow the school's expectations well. Classrooms are calm and purposeful, allowing pupils to focus on learning. Pupils say that bullying is rare and trust adults to deal with concerns quickly and effectively. Pupils benefit from a broad range of learning experiences and wider opportunities. They take part in leadership, enrichment and community activities, including roles such as school councillors, reading buddies and ambassadors. These opportunities help pupils develop confidence, responsibility and leadership skills. Children in the early years get off to a highly positive start. They settle quickly, enjoy learning and develop independence through carefully planned activities and high-quality interactions with adults. Pupils leave the school as confident, respectful and responsible young people who are well prepared for the next stage of their education.

What Ofsted says the school should do next

  • Leaders should ensure that teachers use assessment consistently and effectively in mathematics to identify and address misconceptions and gaps in learning before pupils move on to new content, so that knowledge is secure and pupils' achievement improves.
