Inspection report: Oulton Primary School, 15–16 January 2019 Page 9 of 11 Information about this inspection Inspectors observed a range of teaching and learning throughout the school. Some observations took place with the headteacher and deputy headteacher. During the two days of the inspection, inspectors spoke with pupils, both individually and in groups, about learning and safety. Inspectors reviewed pupils’ work in lessons and analysed samples of work in pupils’ books. Inspectors listened to some pupils reading. The lead inspector held a meeting with the chair of the governing body and three other governors. An inspector held a meeting with the school’s improvement adviser from the local authority. An inspector held a telephone conversation with the person responsible for promoting the educational achievement of all the children looked after by the local authority. Inspectors also held meetings with senior leaders and other staff. Inspectors looked at the school’s review of its own performance, its development and improvement plans, several school policies and the minutes of meetings of the governing body. They considered a range of documentation in relation to child protection, safeguarding, behaviour and attendance. Inspectors analysed the 38 responses to Ofsted’s online questionnaire for parents (Parent View). They also analysed the 28 responses to the Ofsted pupil questionnaire and the 35 responses to the Ofsted staff questionnaire. Year 6 pupils were not in school during the second day of the inspection as they were taking part in an educational visit.
