Lambourne Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 June 2022

Pupils are proud to attend Lambourne Primary School. They learn and play together in a lovely school environment. Pupils know how lucky they are to have a wide range of equipment, including their swimming pool, and they take great care of their surroundings. Through their time in school, pupils learn to be kind and caring young people. In lessons and the playground, pupils behave extremely well. This is because adults have high expectations of pupils' behaviour and teach them how to behave well. Pupils are polite, listen carefully to adults and each other and have positive attitudes towards their work. Lessons are very rarely disturbed. Adults are always on hand to help pupils if they need it. Adults take time to listen, understand and help pupils resolve problems, however minor, when they happen. Older pupils in particular value the time that adults take to help them sort out problems. Adults care deeply about the pupils and always put pupils' needs first. Pupils feel safe in school. They are taught well about how they can manage the risks they face, especially when using the internet and mobile devices. By the time pupils leave the school in Year 6, they have a secure understanding of the potential dangers when online. They know what to do should they ever encounter any of these.

What the school should improve

• In a small number of subjects, leaders have recently introduced new curriculum plans. These are appropriate and ambitious and clearly set out what leaders intend pupils to learn. Pupils do not yet have the same detailed knowledge in these subjects as they do in the rest of the curriculum. Leaders should support teachers to fully implement the curriculum, so pupils can achieve well across all subjects.
