Ofsted Insights
What This School Does Well
The school provides excellent support for young children in the Early Years, helping them make good progress. Reading is well-supported throughout the school with a strong focus on phonics. Pupils feel safe and secure, with good relationships across the diverse school community.
Key Strengths
- Early Years Foundation Stage children achieve well with a wide range of interesting activities supporting their progress
- Recent improvements introduced by leaders are leading to better pupil progress and achievement
- Pupils feel safe in school and get on well with each other regardless of background
Areas for Improvement
- Teachers do not plan work at the right level for all pupils, including those with special educational needs
- Questioning by teachers is not demanding enough to make pupils think deeply
- Teachers do not consistently give clear feedback in marking about how to improve
- Pupils' attention drifts in lessons, especially when work is too hard or too easy
- Leadership monitoring of teaching and pupil progress is not thorough enough
Safeguarding
Pupils feel safe in school and effective behaviour strategies have reduced incidents of poor behaviour; safeguarding is effective.
Extracurricular Activities
Peer mediation, house captains, school council, eco club, outdoor learning experiences
Wylde Green Primary School requires improvement as it has not maintained the good standards achieved at the previous inspection. Pupils do not make consistently good progress throughout the school, and teaching quality remains variable.
