Stocksfield Avenue Primary School

Overview: Stocksfield Avenue Primary School continues to be a good school, with a rich multi-cultural diversity and strong relationships between pupils, staff, and parents. The school provides a wide range of opportunities for pupils to develop their talents beyond academic subjects.

Strengths:

• The school is an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome.
• Behaviour is a strength of the school, with pupils being happy, safe, polite, and respectful.
• The curriculum provides pupils with plentiful opportunities to develop their talents beyond purely academic subjects.
• Pupils enjoy a number of leadership roles and responsibilities in school, such as librarians, reading buddies, and school councillors.
• The school provides an extensive range of clubs and activities, helping to build pupils' interests.

Areas to improve:

• There is some variation in how effectively assessment information is used to adapt the curriculum and to design learning tasks for some pupils, including those with SEND.
• Sometimes, pupils with SEND do not make good progression through the curriculum because they do not have the prerequisite knowledge and skills needed.
• Assessment does not consistently check pupils' prior understanding to ensure that they can complete subsequent learning tasks.

Safeguarding: The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
