What This School Does Well
The Hayes Primary is a welcoming school where teachers inspire pupils to work hard through interesting, relevant lessons. Pupils achieve well and reach above-average standards, while also developing into polite, caring young people who look after one another. The school provides excellent support for all pupils, including those with special educational needs.
Key Strengths
- Pupils achieve well with above-average attainment by the end of Year 6
- Teachers make lessons engaging and interesting, with clear feedback to help pupils improve
- Pupils' behaviour is good, they attend regularly, and feel safe and happy
- Strong leadership team works closely together to maintain teaching quality
- Good support for pupils with special educational needs from dedicated staff
Areas for Improvement
- Teaching is not yet outstanding - tasks are not always matched closely enough to individual pupil abilities
- Teachers' planning does not always clearly explain how additional adults should support learning in lessons
- School leaders need to check pupil progress data more carefully to spot areas for further improvement faster
Safeguarding
Safeguarding is effective - all parents who responded to the survey confirmed their child feels safe at school and pupils develop good awareness of how to keep safe from harm.
Extracurricular Activities
Netball, street dance, tennis, weekly swimming lessons, residential trip to Isle of Wight for Year 6 pupils, local sporting competitions
