What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 24 February 2026

Pupils, leaders and staff are immensely proud of their school. Crowle Primary Academy is at the heart of the community. They want the very best for pupils. Pupils learn to engage positively with the world around them. Regular visits by pupils to local community organisations help them develop a wider understanding of those around them. For example, pupils speak positively about their experiences visiting the local church and regularly engage with people from the local community. Pupils feel safe in school. Pupils reach the high expectations of behaviour. Pupils show kindness to each other and look after one another. Bullying is rare. In the small number of cases where bullying occurs, this is swiftly addressed by adults. Children in the early years learn the rules of ‘ready, respectful, safe’ as soon as they start school. This helps them to understand the expectations of their behaviour quickly. Pupils achieve well in reading, writing and mathematics. Pupils demonstrate a secure understanding of their learning in these subjects. In other subjects, their knowledge is less secure. Leaders have refined the curriculum for these other subjects so that teachers now know more clearly what they need to teach. However, it is too early to determine the impact of leaders' work at this stage. Pupils enjoy their learning in the classrooms with their teachers. Teachers and leaders regularly ask for pupils' opinions on how they would like to learn. This makes pupils feel valued and listened to. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are generally well supported in the classroom through the activities provided. Leaders' continued focus on pupils' development, both pastorally and academically, helps reduce many barriers to their learning over time.

What the school should improve

  • Leaders should continue to develop and monitor wider curriculum subjects, ensuring that teachers give sufficient opportunities for pupils to recap and practise prior learning so that they deepen their knowledge.
  • Leaders should ensure that teachers adapt learning to pupils' needs consistently well so that all pupils can access the curriculum successfully.
