School Description

The quality of education is not good enough. Pupils do not learn well enough in a range of subjects. This is because the curriculum is not ambitious enough. Pupils in Year 6 told us that they do not feel ready for secondary school. Pupils like coming to school and attendance is good. Nevertheless, older pupils say that the behaviour of some pupils hinders their ability to learn. Pupils like the topics they learn. They like the trips and visits leaders provide. Pupils told us how their visit to ‘Northam Burrows’ strengthened their understanding of events in the Second World War. However, pupils are not always able to remember what they have learned. Pupils feel safe at school. They say that staff help them if they have a worry or concern. Pupils say that bullying does not happen. They do say that occasionally friends fall out. Leaders have put in place additional provision, such as the ‘sunshine club’. This is for pupils who find social times challenging. Pupils like this additional provision. Pupils are very positive about the wide range of extra-curricular clubs they have on offer. They are proud of their school and enjoy representing the school at many events.
