What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 February 2025
Bonner Primary School is a very happy, friendly and inclusive place in which to learn. School leaders strive successfully to ensure that all pupils develop a sense of confidence, respect and a love of learning. Pupils work hard and achieve well. Pupils are well prepared for their next stages of learning. Pupils are polite and respectful to adults and towards each other. Behaviour in class is exemplary and there is little time lost to learning. This is because the school establishes high expectations of pupils' behaviour from Nursery onwards. The school supports all pupils in their studies well. This includes disadvantaged pupils and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils with SEND flourish, alongside their peers. Pupils feel safe in this school. Pupils say that adults listen to them and support them with any worries. The school has an accurate understanding of pupils' individual needs. Pupils enjoy taking on leadership responsibilities across the school. They talk with pride about their roles as change makers, digital leaders and eco-warriors. Pupils benefit from a wide range of visits that include museum trips, art galleries and a residential visit for Year 6.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, sometimes, pupils' mistakes are not identified and addressed in a timely manner. This means that misconceptions continue. Staff should ensure that pupils' misconceptions are identified and addressed swiftly to ensure pupils know more and can remember more over time.
- Sometimes, staff do not support pupils' early writing skills effectively. This means that some pupils do not have secure transcription skills. This hampers their ability to write fluently because they cannot form their letters correctly. The school should ensure that strategies to support pupils with their writing and letter formation skills are in place so that pupils become confident writers.
