What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 April 2025
Inclusion and equality sit at the very heart of Cabot Primary School. Pupils and staff are proud to be part of this diverse community. Staff know the pupils and families well. The school ensures that pupils, many of whom are disadvantaged, are ready to learn each day. The kind and nurturing relationships pupils form with staff help them to feel safe. Staff have high expectations of pupil's achievement and behaviour. Pupils demonstrate these on a day-to-day basis. They work hard and achieve well across the curriculum. From the Reception Year onwards, children follow the school rules of 'ready, respectful and safe'. As a result, the school is calm and purposeful. During social times, pupils of all ages enjoy the wide range of organised activities on offer. This makes breaktimes and lunchtimes an enjoyable experience for all. The school prepares pupils well for life in modern Britain. Pupils talk with an informed awareness of how people can be different and that this is something to respect and celebrate. They make a positive contribution to the life of the school. Pupils enjoy the roles and responsibilities the school offers, including house captains and the school and equalities council. This helps them to understand their roles as responsible citizens.
What the school should improve
- In some wider curriculum subjects, assessment is not used effectively to build on pupil's knowledge. As a result, some pupils do not build knowledge sequentially and any gaps they have persist. The trust should ensure that teachers use assessment information to inform future curriculum design, so that pupils build a depth of knowledge across all subjects.
