What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 January 2025
Coundon Primary School is an inclusive school that recognises and celebrates difference. The core values of kindness, respect, responsibility and resilience shine through. Pupils enjoy the nurturing environment provided by staff. The school puts pupils' best interests at the heart of its decision-making. Their voice is heard, and their achievements are celebrated. As a result, pupils work hard and achieve well. When they join in the early years, children are supported to make a smooth transition into school. The school also welcomes pupils at different points in the school year. Whenever pupils join, the staff go the extra mile to help them to feel part of this school. Pupils know the school's expectations of their behaviour. They behave well. Pupils are kind and courteous to each other and to staff. Teachers deal with any rare incidents of poor behaviour very effectively. There are many wider opportunities on offer to all pupils. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) get the support they need to flourish. Many pupils said that they enjoy learning a musical instrument. Others talked positively about going on residential trips to learn team-building skills, while visits to local places of interest are helping pupils to develop their understanding of their local community.
What the school should improve
- The writing curriculum is less effectively implemented in key stage 1 because teachers are not picking up and addressing important errors. This does not help pupils to improve their writing over time and limits how well they are prepared for their next stage in education. Leaders should ensure that their writing curriculum is well taught and that any errors are addressed as they occur in each phase of the school.
- The school has not checked the implementation and impact of the curriculum in some subjects well enough. In these subjects, leaders have not ensured that the changes teachers have agreed to make are being implemented as they intend. The school should ensure that all subject leaders develop the expertise to enable them to check the quality and delivery of their subject across the school.
