OfSTED

Ofsted last visited our school in May 2023. High Lane Primary School continues to be a 'good' school. The report highlighted that:

• 'Pupils are happy and safe'
• 'Pupils behave well and are respectful towards others'
• 'Pupils learn about respectful relationships and the importance of looking after their mental well-being'
• Pupils 'benefit from a wide variety of enrichment activities'
• The school offers 'an ambitious curriculum' where 'pupils with SEND receive effective and targeted support so that they can access the same curriculum as their peers'

The area that was highlighted as a next step is leaders and those responsible for governance should ensure that they refine areas of the curriculum further, in a few subject areas and in some areas of the early years, to ensure that smalls steps of knowledge are identified in order for children to reach end points and remember more over time.
