What Ofsted said about Great Ouseburn Primary School
Overview
Great Ouseburn Community Primary School continues to be a good school, providing a calm and orderly environment where pupils are friendly, polite, and respectful. Leaders and teachers maintain high expectations, delivering an exciting, bespoke curriculum that fosters deep understanding in core subjects and strong community ties.
Strengths
- Pupils enjoy learning, attend very well, and benefit from positive relationships with staff who they trust implicitly.
- Mathematics is taught exceptionally well, with daily fluency practice and effective checks that quickly clear misconceptions.
- Phonics are taught very effectively, with well-matched books and targeted support ensuring pupils become avid readers.
- The curriculum is carefully sequenced, integrating memorable experiences like museum visits to bring subjects like history to life.
- Staff are well-supported, with leaders being considerate of well-being and workload, while governors provide ambitious support.
Areas to improve
- In a small number of foundation subjects, the school is not delivering the ambitious goals described in curriculum plans, meaning pupils’ understanding is not extended as much as it could be.
- The school needs to review support provided to staff for planning and delivering these subjects to ensure pupils are challenged to deepen their understanding equally well across all areas.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
