What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 15 March 2022
Pupils of all ages and abilities thrive at Marine Academy Primary. The headteacher and other leaders set exceptionally high expectations. They are determined that all pupils leave the school as confident and inspired lifelong learners. Pupils' behaviour and attitudes to learning are exemplary. They follow the school's 'MAP manners' and 'STAR' expectations at all times. Pupils know to respect the person speaking and to be polite towards adults and each other. Bullying is rare. Pupils have complete confidence that staff will sort out any disagreements. They feel safe and well looked after by kind, encouraging adults. Leaders meticulously plan opportunities to enrich the curriculum. Pupils benefit enormously from first-hand experiences to complement their learning. These include visits to places of worship, talks from experts and residential trips to London and Paris. Pupils enthuse about the impressive range of clubs, including field-gun, cheerleading and debating clubs. They say that there is something for everyone to get involved with. Parents and carers are positive about the education their children receive. One said, 'The school goes above and beyond every single day.' Other parents echoed this view.
