Inspection report: Thornhill Primary School, 21–22 March 2017 Page 9 of 11 Information about this inspection Inspectors observed teaching and learning across all classes within the school. Many of these were with senior leaders. Meetings and discussions were held with the senior leadership team, members of staff, a representative from the local authority, parents and pupils. Inspectors also met with eight members of the governing body, including the chair of governors. Observations were made of pupils’ behaviour at the beginning of the day, at lunchtime, breaktime, in lessons and at before- and after-school clubs. Inspectors examined a wide range of documentation, including that relating to safeguarding, behaviour and attendance, the school’s information on pupils’ outcomes, reports on the quality of teaching, governors’ minutes and the school development plan. Inspectors listened to pupils read and looked at examples of their work in books and on display. Inspectors took account of the 113 responses to Parent View, Ofsted’s online questionnaire, as well as speaking to parents directly. There were no responses from staff or from pupils to questionnaires about the school.
