What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 June 2025
Guided by the school's motto, 'Nurture and love to educate,' Leamington Primary and Nursery Academy demonstrates genuine care for every pupil and their families. This ethos complements the school's clear ambition to raise aspirations and set high expectations for all pupils. As a result, pupils at the school thrive, both personally and academically. Pupils are happy and safe. They treat one another with kindness and respect. Courteous behaviour and well-established routines help pupils to stay focused and to persevere when faced with challenges. The curriculum helps pupils develop leadership skills and positive mental health. Enquiry questions encourage them to recognise that their voices and opinions matter. For example, pupils explore thought-provoking questions, such as, 'Am I too small to matter?' Pupils engage in a wide range of activities and consistently give their best. They enjoy learning and speak with pride about their achievements. Some are excited to represent the school at the trust awards at a local arena. Others take the lead in organising cultural events at the school, helping their peers to appreciate difference and diversity. Most parents and carers value the school's friendly and welcoming culture. They express pride in how much their children learn and grow during their time there.
What the school should improve
- Occasionally, teachers' explanations do not help pupils to recall the intended learning. When this occurs, pupils' learning slows. The school should ensure that staff have the necessary expertise to teach the curriculum as it intends.
- While staff appreciate the school's efforts to reduce their workload, some think more could be done to make their work more manageable. As a result, some staff do not feel as well supported as they could be. The school should continue to collaborate with staff to make sure that they feel well supported to manage their responsibilities.
