What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 July 2025

Pupils at Cranbourne Primary School are proud to attend their school. They come happy and ready to learn. Pupils know who their trusted adult in the school is, and they have strong relationships with them. This makes them feel safe. The school is ambitious for pupils. This includes those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils work hard and achieve well. Pupils are polite and well- mannered to staff and each other. They socialise happily taking turns and caring for each other. Pupils live the school values of kindness, respect, teamwork, perseverance and creativity. These are part of school life, and pupils strive to be the best they can. The school offers pupils opportunities to visit local areas of interest that are closely matched to the subjects they learn. This brings their learning to life and helps them to remember what they have learned. The school has a wide range of clubs that pupils take part in. These include football, netball, gaming and litter picking. Visitors to the school, such as past Olympians, inspire pupils to achieve their best and try new things. Pupils have the opportunity to be house leaders and members of the school council.

What the school should improve

  • There is variation in how the school's pedagogical approaches are embedded. This means that some pupils do not achieve as well as they could. The school should ensure that they continue to implement their pedagogical priorities across the school so that all pupils achieve well.
