What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 24 May 2023

Pupils are very happy to belong to Keelby Primary Academy. They enjoy an exciting curriculum, brought to life through a range of different learning experiences. From exploring a water pump in Reception to recreating 1960s Grimsby Docks in Year 6, pupils are absorbed in their learning. Highly skilled teachers make learning fun. Leaders and staff work together to provide a caring environment and an ambitious curriculum across all year groups. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive the support they need to access the same learning opportunities as other pupils. All pupils follow an engaging curriculum. This develops their independence and builds their knowledge as they progress through the school. Relationships between pupils and adults are very positive. As one pupil said, 'I completely trust the staff to take good care of us.' Whether in class or on the playground, pupils behave very well. Pupils say that bullying is very rare. They trust staff to deal with any behaviour issues. Parents are overwhelmingly supportive of the school. One parent, typical of many, commented: 'Our children love attending school. All staff want the best for the children and go above and beyond to help.'
