What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 20 March 2024
Cottingham Church of England Primary is a happy and caring school with a strong sense of community. As one pupil shared: 'There is always something different or fun happening here. We don't just have lessons; this week we have had a PTFA candy floss sale to raise money for charity.' The school is ambitious. It wants all pupils to achieve well and to make good progress. This aspiration includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The school values the wider development of pupils. Trips, experiences and visitors are planned carefully to enhance learning. Behaviour is a strength. Staff and pupils consistently live out the school's values. Relationships are positive and nurturing. Pupils are respectful to each other and staff. They are polite and well mannered. Pupils show high levels of engagement in lessons. They listen intently and are eager to ask and answer questions. Pupils show pride in the work that they produce. They are proud of the various roles that they take on to support each other, including being a member of the 'Magnificent minds' or 'Sports crew'. Pupils value the opportunities to develop their leadership skills. For example, older pupils take an active role in leading collective worship.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the curriculum does not make fully clear the precise content that pupils are expected to know and remember. This means that some gaps in pupils' knowledge have emerged and teachers are unable to precisely check on how well pupils acquire the curriculum. Leaders should ensure that the curriculum for all subjects is embedded and that teachers use consistent assessment methods to check that pupils are knowing and remembering more of the intended curriculum.
