What Ofsted said about Sutton Park Primary School
Overview
Sutton Park Primary School continues to be a good school, providing a positive environment where pupils build strong relationships and enjoy learning. The curriculum is systematically sequenced to help pupils make links between subjects, with particular emphasis on reading, mathematics, and personal development. While staff are committed to improvement, the report highlights specific inconsistencies in curriculum focus and monitoring that require attention.
Strengths
- Pupils benefit from high expectations for behaviour and an "impressive outdoor area" that fosters relationships between different age groups.
- The curriculum is designed around drivers of "aspiration, communication and understanding," with clear sequencing in subjects like history.
- Phonics teaching has improved outcomes, supported by a "catch-up programme" and high-quality books covering diverse themes.
- The school prioritises communication skills for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), working closely with specialists.
- Mathematics teaching includes an "ambitious times table programme" and targeted support to build automaticity and address knowledge gaps.
Areas to improve
- The school has identified "too much essential knowledge" in the wider curriculum, leading to inconsistencies in what teachers emphasise as important.
- Curriculum monitoring has not been "rigorous enough," hampering the school’s ability to identify successes and areas for improvement.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
