What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 January 2025
Bedenham Primary is a school where staff put the needs of pupils at the heart of all they do. Pupils are happy and well cared for. Leaders have set out a clear strategic vision, which embodies the school's three key values of 'respect, resilience and aspiration'. As a result, pupils achieve well in a nurturing environment where they feel safe and valued. The school has high ambitions that all pupils reach their potential. Pupils respond to these ambitions by working hard and achieving well. They take pride in their work and are keen to continue improving where they can. Those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive the extra support they need in a considered and sensitive way. This is a school where pupils' social and emotional health is paramount. Pupils are very well supported to achieve their best. Pupils who have needed pastoral support are particularly complementary of the help they have been given. The school provides many opportunities for pupils to take on positions of responsibility. These include being house captains, 'young governors' and playground buddies. Pupils behave well. They are respectful towards each other and towards adults. Pupils celebrate differences and say that everyone is welcome at their school.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the structure of the curriculum means that key knowledge is not revisited frequently enough. Where this is the case, pupils find it difficult to remember some of the key knowledge that is needed and gaps occur in learning. The school should ensure and check that important knowledge is revisited more frequently in all subjects so that teachers can build new learning on what the pupils have already learned and remember.
