Ofsted's report, in its own words

What is it like to attend this school?

Pupils enjoy attending Wrekin View Primary School. The school works hard to ensure pupils attend regularly and achieve well. The vast majority of pupils do. Pupils behave well and feel safe. Each day they live the 'Wrekin View Way.' They work hard in lessons and do their best. Pupils' work is of a high standard. They achieve well in lessons and over time. Pupils enjoy spending time with their friends at social times. Play leaders help pupils to play well together.

The school offers a vast range of opportunities to widen pupils' interests. Clubs such as choir, dance, football skills and dodgeball help pupils to develop new talents. Pupils regularly compete in sports activities in the local area including water polo, gymnastics and cross country. They enjoy residentials which help them to develop important teamwork and independence skills. However, there is work to do to ensure that more pupils consistently benefit from this offer, particularly disadvantaged pupils and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).

What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?

The school has created an ambitious curriculum for all its pupils. The curriculum is carefully sequenced so that learning builds up over time. Pupils have regular opportunities to recall and revisit previous learning. Teachers have strong subject knowledge. They present learning clearly and engage pupils well in their learning. Misconceptions are quickly identified and addressed. Pupils know where they have gone wrong and how to correct it. Trips and visitors help pupils to deepen their learning. For example, a Stone Age day and a trip to Ironbridge strengthened their historical knowledge. The school does all it can to ensure pupils attend school regularly, and do not miss out on valuable learning time. All this means that pupils learn and remember more of the curriculum over time.

Children in the early years get off to a great start. Well-skilled staff prioritise language and communication. Children enjoy singing nursery rhymes and songs. Early number is well taught. Warm and positive relationships help children to settle well. Children learn about self-care, such as good oral hygiene. They enjoy making new friends. Staff teach children how to take turns and share. Children are well-prepared for the next stage of their education.
