Culloden Primary - A Paradigm Academy

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 10 June 2025

Culloden Primary School is a calm and joyous place to learn. Pupils very much enjoy attending this friendly school. They settle quickly in the early years and develop caring relationships with staff. This nurturing ethos continues through to Year 6. Pupils feel safe and trust the staff around them to help whenever they have any worries. The school has a strong inclusive culture that supports pupils exceptionally well, including those who are disadvantaged. It creates an environment where pupils feel valued members of the school community and are empowered to achieve their full potential, both academically and in their wider development. The school has very high expectations for all pupils' achievement. They get a superb education, learn much and grow in many ways. Whatever their backgrounds, starting points or needs, all are supported to do their best and succeed. From the early years up, pupils' achievement is excellent. Pupils also benefit from an exciting array of opportunities beyond the classroom, including thought-provoking experiences that broaden their horizons. Many pupils speak different languages, and some arrive at different times during the year. Staff help them to settle in quickly and feel at home in the school community. Deaf pupils and those with other special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive expert support. They access the curriculum confidently and do very well in their learning.
