Belvoir Park Primary School

Overview

This sustaining improvement inspection was conducted during industrial action, with teachers refusing to co-operate with inspectors. Consequently, the ETI was unable to evaluate the quality of learning, teaching, or the school’s capacity for self-improvement. The report concludes that the inspectorate cannot assure parents of the quality of education provided and marks the school as a high priority for future inspection.

Strengths

• Year 6 pupils spoke “very positively about all aspects of school life” and highlighted their enjoyment of the KS2 production of ‘Oliver’.
• Children have opportunities to develop leadership skills through the School Council and Eco-Committee, with a “good understanding of the election process for these roles”.
• Pupils reported that they “feel very safe in school” and know what to do if they have concerns about their safety or well-being.
• Children demonstrated an “excellent understanding of how to stay safe online”.

Areas to improve

• The school needs to “construct a complaints flowchart”.

Safeguarding

The school provided evidence that safeguarding arrangements “reflect broadly the guidance from the Department of Education,” although the ETI was unable to fully evaluate their outworking due to the industrial action.
