A Dorset school has been warned they face a full inspection after inspectors visited recently.

Lulworth and Winfrith Primary School in School Lane, West Lulworth was visited by Ofsted in July.

The school, currently rated as good, was fully inspected in 2017, but will have a full inspection next time following this most recent visit – a section 8 inspection.

Inspectors said in their report that expectations were not high enough at the school, “with a lack of acceptable accountability structure in place, so issues are not picked up regularly”.

The report said the head teacher is aware and better systems are being put in place.

Pupils feel safe and understand right from wrong, it adds, with both school sites ‘calm and orderly’.

However, inspectors added: “Pupils conduct themselves well at social times. Any deviance from good behaviour when learning is because the curriculum is weak.”

Their feedback also said SEND pupils struggle to keep up due to little or no adjustment to the curriculum. The inspectors said: “Their learning is hampered by this. Teaching staff must consider making reasonable adjustments for pupils with SEND so they can follow the curriculum in every subject.”

Pupils do have opportunities to understand about tolerance and respect for diversity, the report said.

It added: “Some teachers’ expectations are too low. When this happens, pupils’ work of a poor standard is accepted. Leaders need to ensure that teachers’ expectations are consistently of a high standard.”

It is the first routine inspection since Covid, with inspectors meeting with staff, chair of governors, and pupils.
