Knop Law Primary School is warm and welcoming. Pupils are proud to be a part of this school. The school values and the 'KNOPlets' characters are important to pupils.

The 'going for gold' awards celebrated in red carpet ceremonies motivate pupils to do their best. The school is aspirational for all pupils. The curriculum is ambitious and engaging. Pupils are enthusiastic about their learning. Pupils' knowledge and interests in wider curriculum subjects is deepened through the non-fiction texts they read and discuss during daily reading lessons. Most pupils achieve well. Pupils move around school in a calm and purposeful way. They are polite to staff and visitors. Pupils understand that asking for help and making mistakes are part of their learning journey. The school's personal development offer is exceptional. The school prioritises pupils' character development and individual growth.

What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the school does not consistently check how well pupils learn the intended curriculum. This means that some pupils do not receive support to address any gaps in their understanding. The school should ensure that staff check to make sure that pupils learn and remember the intended curriculum.
- The school has not ensured that the early years environment provides children with enough opportunities to secure and apply their learning. As a result, children are over reliant on adult-led activities and do not have enough opportunities to develop their understanding, independence and resilience. The school should ensure that children benefit from an engaging and supportive learning environment that supports their academic and wider development.
