What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 April 2025
Pupils are happy, safe and feel welcome. They know that staff care about them and have their best interests at heart. The school ensures that pupils arrive at school prepared to learn and able to achieve their best, for instance by providing them with healthy snacks. Pupils value having a say in how the school is run. They are proud to serve on the junior leadership team, on the school council or as one of the attendance ambassadors. The school provides a wide range of clubs and experiences to enrich pupils' lives and broaden their horizons. Pupils like going on trips and having their learning brought to life. Camping in Mablethorpe is a firm favourite. There is a positive, considerate culture at Kingswood Primary Academy. It is somewhere pupils want to be. Attendance is high. Pupils behave well most of the time. They try to demonstrate the school's values of respect. The school has great aspirations for all of its pupils. There are high proportions of disadvantaged pupils, pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and pupils who speak English as an additional language at the school. The school ensures that these pupils get the support they need to succeed.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, staff do not identify and resolve pupils' mistakes well enough. As a result, some pupils repeat the same errors in their work, hindering them from achieving as well as they could. The school should ensure that staff use effective strategies to check pupils' learning, resolving any misconceptions swiftly.
- On occasions, staff do not implement the school's behaviour policy consistently well. Consequently, at times, some pupils do not engage with learning as well as the school expects. This hampers their progress through the curriculum. The school should ensure that staff apply the behaviour policy consistently so that pupils sustain high levels of engagement throughout the day and benefit fully from the high-quality education on offer.
