What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 June 2024
Corsham Primary is a welcoming school where everyone gets along. Dedicated staff greet pupils warmly when they arrive. Most pupils flourish academically and socially because staff provide high levels of care and nurture. The school works diligently to refine and improve the curriculum so that pupils learn more over time. This helps pupils get off to a positive start to their education. The school is a safe place to learn. Staff expect pupils to behave well and follow the 'golden rules', and they do. If pupils have any worries, they feel confident talking to adults or using the 'I wish my teacher knew' box. A highlight for many pupils is the 'celebration assembly', which recognises pupils' achievements. This inspires pupils to aim high. The school provides many memorable experiences to broaden pupils' horizons and expand their minds. These include residential trips, talent shows and fundraising events, such as 'Indhu Rani' day. Older pupils take on responsibilities, such as becoming peer mediators and sports ambassadors. Younger children look up to them for support and guidance. The overwhelming majority of parents praise the school's work. They report that their children thrive and develop a love of learning.
What the school should improve
- The school's high expectations for writing are not consistently met by all groups of pupils, especially disadvantaged pupils. Some pupils make repeated errors with punctuation, spelling and letter formation. The trust and school should ensure that writing routines are clearly established so that pupils have sufficient opportunities to develop and practise their writing and secure age-appropriate knowledge and skills.
- In a minority of subjects, the school has not been clear enough about the important knowledge it wants pupils to learn and remember. Consequently, in these subjects, pupils do not deepen and connect their knowledge well over time. The trust and school need to define more clearly the most important knowledge so that pupils build on their learning and have the same depth of knowledge as they do in other subjects.
