What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 October 2024
Ash Green Community Primary School is a safe, caring place for pupils. Positive and nurturing relationships between staff and pupils ensure that pupils are valued and supported. Pupils trust adults to take care of them. The school has high expectations for pupils' learning and behaviour. There is an inclusive environment where all pupils regardless of their needs or circumstances access an ambitious curriculum. The school makes sure that pupils at both sites follow the same curriculum and have the same opportunities. Pupils experience the same learning and activities and achieve well. The care that staff provide for pupils, parents and carers is highly evident. Staff build strong relationships with parents right from the early years. Parents welcome and appreciate this level of care. The pastoral team offers a range of support including access to local services. Pupils know and respond well to the expectations for behaviour. They show politeness and respect to adults and each other. Pupils enjoy coming to school. They appreciate the positive support from adults. Pupils know the importance of friendship and kindness. They know how to keep themselves safe online and in the local community. Pupils are proud to take on leadership roles, including school councillors, lunchtime helpers and play leaders.
What the school should improve
- The English curriculum does not specifically set out well enough the basic skills for writing, including grammar, punctuation and handwriting. As a result, pupils are not able to write with accuracy. The school should ensure that the curriculum identifies these basic skills clearly and progressively so that pupils build fluency in the basic skills and are able to write independently with confidence and fluency.
- Attendance for some pupils is too low, including those who are disadvantaged. This means that pupils are missing out on important learning and other aspects of personal development. The school should ensure that their ongoing work with families is strengthened so that all pupils attend school regularly.
