What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 April 2023
Pupils, including children in the early years, help to ensure that Grange Primary school is a harmonious place to learn. There is a strong ethos of mutual respect between staff and pupils. Leaders have high expectations for pupils' behaviour and what they can achieve academically. This includes those pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Leaders make sure that pupils' well-being and the quality of the curriculum are their most important priorities. Most pupils are keen to learn and they achieve well across a range of subjects. Pupils feel safe in school and they behave well. They show kindness and respect to one another. Pupils know that adults will help them if they have any worries or concerns. If bullying occurs, leaders deal with these incidents swiftly and effectively. Pupils value the many opportunities that they have beyond the academic curriculum. For instance, they access a varied range of clubs that take place after school and other trips. Pupils are eager to contribute to the decisions made by leaders through their roles as school councillors, eco-warriors and play leaders. Pupils develop into active citizens who enjoy helping others and raising money for charitable causes.
What the school should improve
- There are a number of pupils who do not come to school on a regular basis. This means that these pupils miss out on important learning, and this prevents them from achieving as well as they should. Leaders should continue their work to support pupils and their families so that these pupils attend school regularly.
- In a small number of subjects, some teachers do not ensure that pupils have sufficient opportunities to recap and recall earlier learning. This means that some pupils are less confident in recalling learning from previous years. Leaders should ensure that, in these subjects, teachers afford pupils sufficient opportunities to recap and recall important earlier learning.
