What Ofsted said about Parkstone Primary School
Overview
Parkstone Primary School continues to be a good school where pupils thrive in an inclusive environment. Classrooms are described as "oases of calm," with high expectations for behaviour and effective support for pupils with additional needs. Staff morale is high, and leaders value the support provided by the trust.
Strengths
- Pupils feel safe and happy, with bullying being rare and effectively resolved when it occurs.
- The reading curriculum is well organised, with consistent phonics teaching and "reading mastery" lessons that engage pupils.
- Mathematics teaching is strong, with daily checks ensuring work is suitably challenging and Reception children developing confidence with numbers.
- Geography is a particular strength, with teachers using precise vocabulary and making clear links to other subjects like history.
- Staff receive adequate training and support, and the governing body actively challenges leaders on improvement actions.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure all reading books are accurately matched to the sounds pupils have been taught, as some books are currently too hard for a small number of pupils.
- Assessments in wider curriculum subjects, such as history and geography, do not reflect the full breadth of what has been taught, leaving leaders without a complete picture of pupils’ knowledge.
- Leaders should review the approach to teaching British values and different religious beliefs, as pupils’ understanding in these areas is underdeveloped.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with well-organised records, swift action on concerns, and clear guidance for pupils on staying safe online.
