Kincraig Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 28 June 2022

This school is at the heart of the community. Parents and carers typically said that the school is like a family and that staff always 'go the extra mile'. Pupils know that staff care about them. This helps them to feel happy and safe. Pupils are eager to come to school. They are keen to learn and do their best. They find their learning exciting and interesting. Pupils achieve well. Pupils develop their wider interests and talents, through after-school clubs, such as the 'schools alive', ukulele and gardening clubs. They join in local sporting and arts events and visit museums and galleries. All pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), join in everything the school has to offer. Leaders have high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Pupils behave well in lessons and at playtimes. They said that poor behaviour is rare. They are considerate of one another and respectful to adults. They know that any incidents of bullying will be dealt with swiftly by teachers.

What the school should improve

• In a small number of subjects, leaders have not considered fully the key knowledge that they want pupils to learn and how this will be assessed. This hinders some pupils from building knowledge securely on what they already know. Leaders should ensure that teachers are clear about the essential knowledge that pupils should learn from the early years to Year 6.
