What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 May 2024
Perranporth is a wonderful place to learn. It is a warm and vibrant environment. Come rain or shine, each morning senior leaders welcome every pupil by name at the school gates. These positive relationships continue in the classrooms. Pupils feel well cared for. Year 6 pupils talk of their sadness at the thought of leaving. However, they are well prepared for the next stage of their education. In the words of one pupil, 'the teachers help us to achieve our goals'. Pupils behave well throughout the school day. They enjoy a range of activities at social times. For example, those who want a quieter space use the reading cabin. Pupils consistently demonstrate enthusiasm for their learning. In the early years, children listen attentively during their phonics sessions. Older pupils settle straight to their work in lessons. Bullying is not an issue. The school's high-quality work continues beyond the academic curriculum. 'Aspiration days' spark pupils' interest in potential careers. Pupils demonstrate they are leaders of the future in roles such as 'Diamond Sixes', librarians and school parliamentarians. Pupils develop their interests through a range of clubs such as forest school, craft and netball.
What the school should improve
- The curriculum in some wider subjects is not as developed or well-embedded as others. Consequently, pupils do not make the same strong progress as they do in English and Maths. The trust should ensure that it continues to embed and review the wider curriculum so that pupils learn well across it.
