Allington Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 12 July 2022

Pupils flourish at this inclusive and nurturing school. Staff are united in their ambition for every pupil to achieve their full potential. This means that pupils enjoy coming to school. There is a purposeful buzz of learning in every classroom. This positivity spills out into breaktimes where pupils enjoy being with their friends. They appreciate the freedom of the spacious field and play imaginative games on the climbing structures. Leaders' expectations are high, and this is reflected in pupils' exemplary behaviour and respectful attitudes. Pupils enjoy their learning, and they are proud of their high-quality work which is displayed around the school. Academic, musical, and sporting talents are all valued and celebrated. Individual pupils are supported to develop their own talents and interests. For example, pupils of all ages are encouraged to play their musical instruments during assemblies. The school's 'THINC' values underpin the curriculum. Over time pupils develop the ability to wisely reflect on issues such as equality of opportunity. Older pupils intelligently discuss the qualities needed for healthy relationships. Bullying is rare, and if needed leaders take robust and sensitive action. Kind and caring relationships exist among pupils, and adults are trusted to deal with any worries quickly.
