What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 June 2025
Grange Primary Academy is a joyful place to learn, where pupils grow in confidence. The school encourages pupils to 'be the best they can be'. The school has high expectations for pupils, and pupils rise to these. At the end of Year 6, published outcomes information shows that pupils have not achieved as well as they need to. However, the school's renewed curriculum helps current pupils to know and remember more. Pupils at Grange are known as individuals. Warm relationships between staff and pupils mean pupils feel secure to share any concerns. Pupils are clear about the school's behaviour expectations. Consequently, the school is a harmonious learning environment. Pupils are engaged in their learning. Younger children learn the routines needed to make a successful start in school. The school has carefully considered how it wants to develop pupils' character and help them with important traits, such as resilience. The curriculum provides opportunities for pupils to learn to be resilient. The school provides many other experiences, such as Second World War history visits, zoo visits and orienteering. These help pupils to make links between the classroom and the world around them.
What the school should improve
- At times, teaching does not identify and address errors in aspects of some pupils' handwriting and letter formation. As a result, these pupils make repeated errors in their written work. The trust should ensure that teaching identifies and addresses errors and misconceptions in pupils' writing to ensure that pupils build their knowledge and writing fluency securely.
- Attendance rates are low and there are too many pupils, particularly those who are disadvantaged, who are persistently absent. As a result, some pupils are not forming positive attendance routines and are missing essential learning. The trust should ensure that attendance continues to be a high priority and that rates of attendance improve.
