What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 February 2025
Pupils at Barham Primary School are safe, happy and kind. They are welcoming and demonstrate impeccable manners in their interactions with visitors. Pupils seek to embody the 5Rs by being respectful, resilient, risk taking, resourceful and reflective. They are rewarded through the school's 'house' system and enjoy positive recognition for their efforts and endeavours. Pupils benefit from the wider offer at the school. They can develop their interests and talents through clubs, including chess, cooking, art and karate. Pupils readily take on leadership roles as ambassadors, reading leaders and play leaders. All pupils have opportunities to learn in the forest school so that they can explore and acquire gardening skills. The school has high expectations of pupils' achievements. Pupils perform excellently in national tests. As well as developing pupils' academic achievements, leaders are keen to develop the 'whole child'. They consider the wider social skills and experiences that pupils need for their next phase and in possible future careers. For example, pupils access a range of opportunities that take them beyond the everyday, such as visits to universities and museums and hearing from external speakers. As a result, pupils are well prepared as they transition to their next stage of education.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, some of the important concepts are not taught securely and practised until pupils are confident. As a result, some pupils struggle to integrate new knowledge into larger ideas, and they are not as able to deepen their understanding and make connections in their learning. The school should review how teaching supports pupils to remember the concepts they have been taught.
- The revised policies for managing behaviour during informal times are not consistently applied. This means some pupils do not fully understand the expectations during break and lunchtimes and how incidents will be followed up. The school should continue to embed the behaviour policy and share its impact with stakeholders.
