Kineton Church of England Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 11 March 2025

Pupils thrive here. Dedicated staff know the pupils, their interests and their needs, well. Through this knowledge, care and support, pupils engage happily in their learning. They behave well and take their education and personal responsibilities seriously. Pupils appreciate the many opportunities that they have during their time at Kineton. They speak with high regard of the spacious grounds and all that these offer them. A host of outdoor activities promote active play and help pupils of all ages to socialise and interact together. They do this well. Being active in play and in learning go hand in hand throughout the curriculum. The school sets very ambitious expectations for learning. Pupils meet these and achieve well in all subjects across the curriculum. Their excellent behaviour and dedication to gaining increasing knowledge is consistently evident throughout the school. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well supported. They receive a raft of help and expertise that allows them to grow as individuals and learners. From building forts outside to fundraising for carefully chosen charities, pupils learn to live life in all its fullness. Parents and carers rightly state, 'Kineton is a warm and welcoming school with adults that really show care for all the children they support.'

What the school should improve

• Staff do not always address pupils' errors in their written work. This means that some pupils have gaps in their foundational grammar and spelling knowledge which persist. The trust should ensure that the school enables pupils to write with increased grammatical and spelling accuracy and that errors are addressed.
