What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 27 February 2024
Huntingdon Primary School is an inclusive school where pupils are happy. They are proud of the sense of care and community that permeates the school. Pupils respect each other and value the school's culture of celebration irrespective of who you are. Parents and carers also appreciate the school's nurturing ethos. Pupils trust adults in the school to deal with any incidents of bullying if it does occur. Pupils feel confident about going to staff if they have any worries. Poor behaviour is not accepted, and pupils behave well. Playtimes are calm and well managed. Staff intervene in a timely manner if play becomes overzealous. Pupils get along well with each other. The school teaches pupils to be kind to everyone, irrespective of their differences. Pupils like the fact that staff are ambitious about what they can achieve. Pupils enjoy the different subjects they study and happily talk about what they know. Pupils value the large range of opportunities they have to take on responsibility. This includes being school ambassadors, playground buddies, subject experts or peer mediators. Pupils also appreciate the many visits that staff organise to enhance their learning. This includes residential trips.
What the school should improve
- In a small minority of foundation subjects, important parts of the school's planned curriculum are not taught. Therefore, pupils do not have the subject knowledge that they need for the next steps in their learning. The school must ensure that the intended curriculum is taught in its entirety in every foundation subject so that pupils have a secure knowledge of the key content they need for their future learning.
