What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 November 2024
Newcomen Primary School aims for pupils to 'believe, achieve and succeed'. The school is very successful in realising its ambitious vision. Pupils work extremely hard to rise to the high expectations that staff have of them. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve exceptionally well. The school is a harmonious and productive setting for pupils to learn and develop. Teachers are supportive and relentless in ensuring pupils achieve their full potential. They create a safe and nurturing environment for pupils. From the early years, pupils learn that making mistakes 'helps their brains to grow'. This helps to develop pupils' resilience. Pupils are happy. In lessons, they are keen to contribute. Pupils' conduct is impressive, and they are deeply respectful. Pupils are empowered. The school is very successful at developing pupils' vocabulary and communication, including in the early years. As a result, pupils can express themselves confidently. Pupils are proud of the important contributions they make to their school and local community. They take on responsibilities in school, such as 'sports leaders' and as members of the school council with enthusiasm. As many parents and carers told inspectors, pupils thrive at this school.
