Camrose Primary With Nursery

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 2 July 2024

There are high expectations on pupils to succeed academically and personally. These ambitions are typically met. Behaviour in lessons and around the school is exemplary. This is because pupils understand the 'good to be green' system that helps to ensure positive and respectful relationships exist between pupils and staff. This contributes to pupils feeling safe and being kept safe in school. Pupils play an active part in their school community. For example, they support each other as buddy readers and take on responsibilities, such as well-being ambassadors or as members of 'Squad 19'. Pupils learn an ambitious and well-designed curriculum. They work hard and produce work of high quality. In most subjects, and in national assessments, pupils achieve well and are thoroughly prepared for the next stage of their education. Pupils enjoy taking part in a range of clubs, including science, gymnastics, netball, singing, art and tennis. There are opportunities to attend visits that enrich the curriculum, for example, to London Zoo, Kew Gardens, different places of worship and the Roald Dahl Museum. Older pupils also have the opportunity to take part in residential trips.

What the school should improve

• In a few subjects, assessment is not used with sufficient precision to check what pupils know and understand. In these instances, errors and misconceptions are not consistently identified or addressed in a timely way. As a result, some pupils do not develop as rich and deep an understanding in these curriculum areas. The school should ensure that assessment is used consistently across the curriculum to check pupils' understanding and to address any misconceptions promptly.
