What Ofsted said about Westcott Primary School
Overview
Westcott Primary School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. The school provides a well-designed curriculum and fosters strong relationships, with pupils demonstrating confidence in their learning and behaviour.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate the school’s ‘STARR’ values confidently, using a ‘remind, reflect, reset’ approach to manage behaviour positively.
- The curriculum in subjects such as art, design, and history clearly identifies key knowledge, helping teachers focus instruction effectively.
- Reading and writing are prioritised, with effective phonics support ensuring pupils who are not keeping up can catch up quickly.
- Mathematics teaching is ambitious, with tasks matched to pupils’ knowledge and gaps addressed through careful checks.
- The school offers a comprehensive personal development programme, including community projects that foster active citizenship.
Areas to improve
- Some subjects in the wider curriculum contain too much information, meaning pupils struggle to recall key points; the school must ensure the curriculum focuses on essential knowledge across all subjects.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
