Gladstone Primary School is a caring and inclusive school, which encourages pupils to learn in a positive atmosphere and to be happy.

Pupils enjoy the activities and tasks provided and use a wide range of strategies and resources to learn effectively. Pupils' readiness to learn during lessons is good and this is due to the purposeful working relationships that exist with their teachers and other staff. Even though extensive restoration of the building restricts the use of the outdoors, the staff provide beneficial learning opportunities both indoors and in the open air.

Where learning is particularly successful the teaching is engaging and purposeful and staff have high expectations of pupils. However, the quality of teach...ing and the impact of teachers' feedback on the next steps in pupils' learning is inconsistent across the school. All staff provide a high level of support and care for pupils in all aspects of school life.

This encourages pupils to take responsibility for their own learning and well-being. Pupils' behaviour is very good, and they are determined to persevere and learn successfully. As a result, they develop strong literacy and digital skills across the curriculum; however, their application of numeracy skills in real life situations is underdeveloped.

The headteacher provides effective and purposeful leadership. She is determined to succeed for the benefit of pupils and the community. The senior leadership team, the staff and the governors share a clear vision.

They work together well to ensure that the school is an inclusive learning community that promotes positive opportunities for pupils. The headteacher shares responsibilities effectively among staff. This creates a positive whole-school focus, where staff and pupils feel valued for their contributions to school life.

Leaders evaluate the school's work to plan for improvements thoroughly, using robust self-evaluation processes. These monitoring practices lead to worthwhile training for staff to develop their skills through effective professional learning opportunities. Recommendations R1 Ensure that teachers use learning time effectively, in all classes, to challenge pupils and support their progress R2 Ensure that teachers improve provision to develop pupils' numeracy skills R3 Ensure that the quality of teachers' feedback targets the next steps in pupils' learning consistently across the school What happens next The school will draw up an action plan to address the recommendations from the inspection.
