Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Rawdon Littlemoor Primary School puts the pupils at the heart of everything it does, from the ambitious curriculum to the extensive personal development offer. The school has high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). These expectations are realised as pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education.
Adults know children and their families well. They foster nurturing and positive relationships. Pupils enjoy coming to school. They are happy in a school where they feel safe. Pupils behave extremely well. They show very positive attitudes to their learning. In lessons, pupils are eager to contribute and share ideas.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school has developed and introduced an ambitious curriculum. History and geography topics consider the local context. The curriculum follows a clear sequence of learning. The school has carefully planned for new learning to build on what pupils have learned before. In most lessons, teachers use effective strategies to help pupils remember prior learning and to learn and remember new content and ideas. This helps pupils to build their knowledge over time. The curriculum is not consistently well implemented in all subjects. For instance, some pupils in key stage 2 do not build their knowledge of French over time.
Through making checks on pupils' learning, teachers identify and address any gaps in pupils' knowledge. Teachers expertly and skilfully use questioning to explore pupils' thinking and to get pupils to think more deeply. Teachers are well trained. For instance, they use their strong subject knowledge to effectively build pupils' mathematical understanding. Pupils who may have SEND have their needs identified quickly. Adaptations to the curriculum and expert support from adults ensure that these pupils achieve well.
