What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 January 2024
Warm, positive relationships are the beating heart of Newquay Primary Academy. Pupils display immense pride in being a part of this school community. They eagerly talk about their learning. Pupils' excellent attendance reflects how much they enjoy school. The school's unrelenting focus on the curriculum and ensuring pupils learn it well, results in pupils receiving an exceptional education. Continual high-quality training means staff at all levels are highly knowledgeable about the subjects they teach. Pupils show a thirst for learning. This starts as soon as they enter the vibrant early years environment. Pupils respond well to the high expectations of behaviour staff expect, both in the classroom and around the school site. They feel safe. Pupils play happily and harmoniously together at social times. The school is rightly proud of its work with pupils beyond the academic. Meaningful experiences such as performing and recording songs to raise money for a local food bank are strategically woven into the curriculum. This helps pupils to become caring, empathetic citizens. The school offers a range of clubs. Take up for these is very high, including for disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
