Pupils at Watchlytes Primary School are not receiving an adequate education. Pupils are not having access to an ambitious curriculum designed to meet their needs. The school’s curriculum does not help pupils to build depth of knowledge in a wide range of subjects. For too long, the most vulnerable pupils have not received the support they need to help them attend school and achieve well. Not all pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) get the support they need to make at least good progress from their starting points. In addition, pupils who struggle to read do not receive the necessary support to catch up quickly. These are often the most vulnerable pupils. Early years staff are only just seeing positive results from recent improvements. This year, most children from Nursery have moved into Reception ready to learn. Children have settled quickly. They build their knowledge because the curriculum is planned well. However, leaders’ curriculum plans beyond Reception have not been well considered. Plans do not ensure that children will continue to develop these skills to be successful in Year 1 and beyond. Most pupils behave well. In lessons, some pupils disengage and become restless. Pupils say that bullying does not happen. They are confident that adults in school will help them if they have concerns. Pupils are happy and say that they feel safe. Pupils told us that they enjoy physical education. They appreciate the extra-curricular activities on offer at lunchtime and after school. Most parents and carers are happy with what the school provides. Staff say that they are proud to work at the school.
