What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 June 2025
Pupils enjoy being part of this nurturing school. Staff are well attuned to pupils' learning and emotional needs. As a result, pupils get the right help to feel safe and achieve well. Right from the start in Nursery, pupils learn the school's high expectations through consistent daily routines. They take pride in living up to the school's aspirations and earning certificates of achievement in the Newington celebration assemblies. The school is ambitious for pupils. Leaders recognise that, in the past, pupils have not attained as highly as they could by the end of key stage 2. They have made many changes to the curriculum and teaching, which have had a positive impact on pupils' achievement. Pupils behave well. They participate eagerly during lessons and focus intently on their learning. Pupils encourage each other to behave well. If any reach the top of the school's behaviour ladder and receive a golden ticket, the class celebrates with them generously by having a round of applause. The school environment is calm and purposeful. Pupils are considerate when walking around the school, holding doors open for each other. Everyone is included at social times as pupils play happily together.
What the school should improve
- Some pupils in key stage 2 have legacy gaps in their learning in the foundation subjects. As a result, they do not progress through the curriculum as securely as they could. The school should ensure that checks on pupils' understanding are carried out securely in these subjects, so that staff know precisely where pupils have gaps in their learning and they give pupils the support they need to catch up.
- In the wider curriculum subjects, teaching activities are not consistently well enough designed to offer pupils the precise challenge or support they need. Some pupils, therefore, do not achieve as highly as they could. The school should develop staff in the wider curriculum, so they can enable pupils to achieve the school's ambitious aims.
