What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 30 April 2024

Pupils at Kinderley Primary School are happy. Pupils of different ages work well together and show respect for one another. They like playing games together at lunchtime. Parents appreciate how their children enjoy their time at the school. Pupils behave well in and out of class. They listen carefully to adults and each other. Older pupils say that behaviour has improved over their time at the school. There are now clear consequences if they make poor choices. Pupils are confident that staff will deal with bullying if it happens. Pupils are happy going to staff with any worries. Pupils appreciate the schools' high expectations for them and are proud of what they achieve. They value the different opportunities they are given. These range from robot wars to tag rugby. Pupils feel safe and learn how to keep themselves safe. This includes how to stay safe online. They also learn how to be safe around water, given the number of dykes in the local area, with all pupils from Year 1 upwards having swimming lessons.

What the school should improve

  • The curriculum in a few subjects is not yet fully implemented. This means that staff are not always teaching these subjects as the school intends. As a result, pupils do not know as much in these subjects as they should. The school should ensure that, in every subject, teachers implement the school's curriculum plans as it intends.
