Burnham-on-Crouch Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 14 January 2025

This is an inspirational school which showcases its exceptional work in a multitude of ways, locally as well as nationally. There is a strong belief to make the school fit the child. Hence, pupils who are disadvantaged or those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) flourish alongside their peers. Pupils have access to bespoke programmes which meet their needs well. There is no ceiling to what pupils can achieve and do at this school. Staff have high expectations and know how to get the best out of their charges. They know the hooks that will get them eager to listen and engage avidly in learning. As a result, children in early years learn to read quickly and older pupils repeatedly attain highly in national tests. Pupils have a strong understanding of what it means to be a decent citizen. The school has a nurturing atmosphere where respect for all permeates. Pupils behave impeccably. They contribute extensively to their school through leadership roles, such as art ambassadors and play leaders. Pupils gain personally and emotionally from a wide range of high-quality additional experiences and extra-curricular activities. Many parents appreciate how happy their children are, they 'run to school every morning and drag their feet on the way home'.
