Kingsdown and Ringwould Church of England Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 24 May 2023

Pupils flourish in this highly ambitious and nurturing school. Their enthusiasm and excitement for learning is infectious. Pupils appreciate the small school community where everyone is welcome. One parent expressed the views of many by commenting, 'The school is very much one big family with all children able to mix and play together.' Leaders have very high expectations of all pupils' academic and personal development. Pupils respond exceptionally well, with exemplary behaviours and attitudes to learning, and they consequently achieve highly. They confidently demonstrate the school's values of communication, independence, collaboration, resilience and reflection in all that they do. Pupils feel safe in school and well looked after by kind, encouraging and caring adults. Bullying is not a problem. Pupils say 'there is zero tolerance here'. They have complete confidence and trust, however, that staff will quickly sort out any issues should they occur. As one pupil said, reflecting pupils' views overall, 'The school makes us feel special and cared for in many different ways.' Parents strongly appreciate this culture, with one saying, 'This school is brilliant at supporting individual needs, doing their best to accommodate every child, rather than trying to get the child to fit in with them.'
