Cannon Park Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 7 June 2023

Pupils know that they will receive a warm welcome when they arrive in school each morning. They feel very safe in school and recognise that they are well cared for by all staff. The 'TRIED' school values are lived and breathed by pupils and staff. Pupils show teamwork, respect, integrity, enjoyment and discipline in lessons and when moving around the school. Likewise, staff are respectful of pupils and listen closely to what they have to say before responding. Many pupils join the school part way through the academic year. Staff and pupils go out of their way to help these pupils settle in. This ensures that all pupils benefit from the harmonious school community that leaders have created. Pupils and staff work together to agree expectations for behaviour. They encourage everyone to display 'brilliant behaviour'. Pupils live up to this expectation. They look out for one another. Bullying incidents are rare and staff deal with any issues quickly, should they arise. Pupils enjoy the challenge of learning the curriculum. Staff particularly promote pupils' love of reading. They provide a broad range of books for pupils to enjoy, many of which are shared in the school's well-stocked library.

What the school should improve

• The curriculum is not fully developed in a small number of subjects. This limits pupils' learning. Leaders should identify what they expect pupils to know and remember in all areas of the curriculum.
