What Ofsted said about Pippins Primary School
Overview
Pippins School continues to be a good school, characterised by a "strong community spirit" where "mutual respect and kindness" are prioritised. Leaders have implemented rapid, positive changes to the curriculum, ensuring pupils develop "self-esteem and a sense of belonging" through high expectations and engaging activities.
Strengths
- Pupils enjoy "warm and trusting relationships" with staff, resulting in bullying that is "extremely rare".
- The curriculum is "ambitious and well balanced", with plans "sequenced effectively" so pupils build on prior learning.
- Reading is "well loved" by pupils, supported by "expertly trained" staff who model sounds and provide appropriate books.
- Early years children make a "strong start", developing secure understanding of number and physical coordination.
- Staff feel "very well supported" by senior leaders, who are "mindful of their workload" and provide high-quality training.
Areas to improve
- Governors need to seek "high-quality training" to ensure they have the expertise to "robustly hold leaders to account".
- The mathematics curriculum requires further adaptation to ensure pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) can access it fully.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a "strong culture" ensuring appropriate training, procedures, and checks are in place to keep children safe.
