What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 October 2022
Pupils come to Edenbridge Primary School full of enthusiasm. They are excited to learn and to tackle the challenges of the school's ambitious curriculum. Pupils do well in a wide range of subjects. They are eager to talk about what they have learned. The school is a happy, welcoming place. Pupils are kind and friendly and they get along well. When they fall out with one another, which happens from time to time, teachers help them to sort this out quickly. Bullying is very rare. It is always taken seriously and dealt with effectively. Pupils are well looked after by staff and they feel safe. The 'Pioneer Passport' outlines the additional experiences that pupils will take part in during their time at the school. Visits to a farm, theatre, castle and museum, alongside the opportunity to display their artwork in a gallery, all enhance pupils' broader development. Leaders make sure that all pupils benefit from this offer. Pupils play an active role in the school and the local community. Pupils feel that their contribution and their individuality are valued. They are proud of who they are, and of their school community.
What the school should improve
- Leaders are not yet using their systems for recording behaviour and attendance as effectively as they could be. This means that they are not always clear whether the actions they are taking are having the desired impact. Leaders need to use their systems to more forensically analyse any trends and patterns that may be emerging and to evaluate the impact of their work. This will help them to bring about further improvements.
- In a small number of subjects, leaders have not yet embedded the changes they have made to improve the curriculum. This means that pupils sometimes find it difficult to make links with what they have already learned. Leaders need to finalise the changes they have made to the curriculum in these subjects and ensure they become embedded quickly.
