Pupils flourish as individuals at Chillingham Road Primary school. The aspirational and welcoming atmosphere is palpable. Pupils are proud to attend this school.

Pupils' individual strengths and talents are celebrated. Pupils are excited by the opportunities they have here.

The school celebrates pupils' good manners and kindness. Pupils value the praise and recognition from staff. For example, as rewards, pupils are chosen to be seated on the 'top table' with a friend, work together to gain class points and achieve 'marbles'.

What the school should improve
- Sometimes, the support that weaker readers receive is not closely matched to the support they need. As a result, pupils do not catch up with reading as quickly as they could. The school should ensure that additional support is delivered precisely so gaps in pupils' reading knowledge are addressed effectively and quickly.
- The school's systems to check what pupils know and remember are more developed in some curriculum subjects than in others. In some subjects, the school does not have a clear understanding of what pupils know and can do. This means that pupils do not always integrate new knowledge as intended. In these subjects, the school should review the impact of how they check pupils' prior knowledge and understanding and quickly identify any misconceptions.
