From the inspection on 3 February 2026
Pupils enjoy coming to Griffin Primary School. They speak with pride about their school. Pupils enter classrooms calmly and settle to learning with purpose. Staff greet pupils warmly. This creates a welcoming and supportive atmosphere where pupils feel known and valued. Leaders have recently started to improve their strategies related to pupils' attendance and punctuality. This work has had some impact, but there are still too many pupils who miss important learning. Pupils enjoy a broad and creative curriculum. They talk with enthusiasm about the new things they learn. Pupils, including those who face barriers to their learning, progress well through the curriculum from their starting points. They take part in activities that broaden their experiences. These include learning a musical instrument, sports competitions and art clubs. These activities help pupils develop new interests and skills. The school promotes its core values well. Pupils use them to guide how they work and play each day. They show respect and kindness towards one another. Pupils enjoy positive relationships with staff and with their classmates. They feel safe and know that adults will listen and help them if they have a concern. Classrooms are calm, and routines are clear. Pupils typically behave well and try hard. Staff encourage pupils to become confident, caring and resilient learners. Pupils respond well to this support. Pupils learn about their local area and the city where they live. They enjoy learning that connects them to their community. They develop life skills that help them take sensible risks and face new challenges. This prepares them well for the wider world.
What the school should improve
- Leaders should continue their approach to tackling pupil absence to ensure that it has the intended impact on pupils' attendance rates, including for disadvantaged pupils and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities to ensure that the recent improvements are sustained over time.
- Leaders should ensure that the curriculum is consistently taught well so that pupils build detailed knowledge and skills and produce high-quality work across the curriculum.
