What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 9 July 2024

Everyone is welcome and made to feel special at Clapgate Primary School. Pupils celebrate and value each other and the adults who work with them. In the words of one pupil, reflecting the view of many, 'Adults help me with my learning. I love it when they do this and I learn lots.' Pupils relish their outdoor learning, especially looking after the chickens and goats. They say this helps their mental and physical health. Pupils are proud that the produce they grow on the school's allotment is used in the community kitchen. Pupils know there is always someone to help if they have a worry or fall out with another pupil. Children are taught how to stay safe online and in the local community from the time they start in the early years. Pupils challenge adults, including inspectors, if their lanyards are of an unfamiliar colour. Adults have the highest ambition for every pupil, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They expect each pupil to try their hardest at everything they do. Pupils respond positively to these expectations and achieve well. Knowledge, spark, humanity, grit and team are the school's golden threads. They are woven through every aspect of pupils' education.

What the school should improve

  • The school does not check on the implementation of the intended curriculum closely enough in some subjects. This means that plans to further improve the quality of education that pupils receive are not sufficiently precise. The school should ensure that its systems to check on pupils' learning are adhered to consistently.
