What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 6 December 2023

Archbishop Cranmer Primary Academy is a school where pupils really do experience 'life in all its fulness'. Pupils attain highly, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The rich and broad curriculum is underpinned by the school's values. These are deeply understood by all. Pupils are extremely proud of their school. They say that any child would 'fit right in' and be welcomed by everyone. Pupils are highly respectful of staff and each other. Everyone's point of view is valued. Pupils readily explain how they make a difference to their school every day. The commitment to developing pupils' character is evident throughout the school. Pupils flourish here and feel extremely well supported for the future through the school's 'Take Care' ethos. One pupil explained this by saying, 'Everything that I do is cherished and valued.' They feel safe at school and have an excellent knowledge of how to stay safe when online. The youngest children settle quickly into school, guided by older pupils. Firm friendships follow. Parents and carers value both the exceptionally broad curriculum and the way in which their children are nurtured as individuals. Comments such as 'The school has exceeded my expectations' were typical of many.
