Grange Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 4 February 2025

The Grange Primary School provides a nurturing environment, where pupils and their families feel welcome. Pupils are happy and safe. They can name a trusted adult they would speak to who would deal with any concerns they had appropriately. Pupils work hard and speak respectfully to staff and to each other. Any instances of low- level disruption are dealt with by staff. In the playground, clear systems are in place to promote positive behaviour and ensure pupils enjoy a range of different games and activities together. Pupils benefit from a broad and balanced curriculum that is ambitious for all pupils. Pupils achieve well. The school has considered the school's diverse community when deciding what pupils should learn. This includes ensuring reading books reflect a range of cultures, and trips to local places of worship consider a range of faiths. The school provides a range of extra-curricular activities for pupils. They enjoy attending the different clubs, such as art, dance and multisports. They also appreciate the exciting trips to museums, historical re-creations, and the theatre. Pupils are proud of the contribution they make to the school. For example, the school councillors work to improve the school lunches and raise money for playground equipment.

What the school should improve

• In a few subjects, the curriculum is not consistently delivered effectively. In these instances, pupils do not develop the same depth of knowledge and understanding as they do in other subjects. Leaders should ensure they continue to develop staff expertise and knowledge and ensure high-quality teaching across the curriculum.
