What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 2 July 2024

Pupils at Constantine Primary School are happy and proud to attend their village school. They enter the school gates with a smile on their faces and a thirst for learning. Through their three school promises, pupils demonstrate thought and care towards others, as well as in their learning. They are well mannered and kind towards others. Pupils value the care they receive from adults in their school. Older pupils become positive role models. For example, they buddy read with younger pupils regularly and support each other with their play during social times. Pupils enjoy learning across the curriculum and meet the high standards the school has for them. They have many opportunities to learn about and care for their locality, taking pride in where they come from. For example, the school council works with a local surfing charity to protect their nearby coastal areas. Pupils appreciate the wide range of extra-curricular activities on offer. From sports to the arts, choir and photography, pupils develop their talents and interests. Pupils also enjoy competing in the sporting 'leagues' which consist of schools in the local partnership.

What the school should improve

  • In a small number of subjects, the curriculum is not fully developed. This means that pupils have gaps in their knowledge which hinder them from building their understanding over time. The trust and the school must ensure that the curriculum in all subjects supports pupils to learn well.
  • A minority of parents have mixed views on the quality of communication between home and school. This is having a negative impact on how well these parents engage with the school. The school and the trust should continue to strengthen its relationship with parents so that they work in partnership.
