Burrowmoor Primary School Ofsted Report

Full report

In accordance with section 13(4) of the Education Act 2005, Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector is of the opinion that the school no longer requires special measures.

What does the school need to do to improve further?

• Improve the quality of teaching, learning and outcomes by:
  • developing a consistent approach to skills development in history, geography and science to raise expectations of what pupils can achieve
  • providing harder work for the most able pupils in mathematics so that they make faster progress
  • using the information about pupil progress in key stage 1 more effectively, to ensure that the work planned for pupils is designed to meet their specific needs.
• Improve the impact of leadership and management by:
  • ensuring that procedures to manage the performance of teachers and to track the progress of pupils underpin the improvements made to teaching and learning
  • further developing the leadership skills of some middle leaders so that they can have a greater impact within the areas for which they are responsible.
• The governing body should commission a review of the education, health and care plans and provision for all pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities. The findings of this review should be communicated effectively, so that the school gains the trust of the parents of these pupils.
