What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 June 2024
Pupils value attending Seathorne Primary Academy. The school's environment reflects the high expectations that the school has for its pupils. Pupils respect their school. They describe it as welcoming and inclusive. They feel 'cared for, well educated, and safe'. Pupils' behaviour is good. In lessons, pupils listen carefully to their teachers. They collaborate, share and show each other respect. Pupils said that they do not fear bullying in school. They value the many staff that they can turn to if they need help. They particularly value the 'listening ears'. Pupils learn how to keep safe, including when using the internet. They learn how to keep healthy. Pupils enjoy clubs and sports outside of the school day and at lunchtime. They benefit from the breakfast and after-school clubs. Water safety is a school priority. Many pupils have not yet had the opportunity to learn to swim. The school ensures that the curriculum is enriched by visits outside of the classroom. Pupils relish these opportunities. Year 6 pupils spoke excitedly about their visit to a local aviation centre to see the Lancaster aircraft 'Just Jane' as part of their studies.
What the school should improve
- Curriculum planning has improved in many subjects, but not in all. In some subjects there is insufficient focus on the key knowledge that pupils need to learn and to return to. This means that pupils do not achieve as well as they could. The school must ensure that the curriculum in all subjects is knowledge focused, well planned and well implemented. It should continue the work to ensure all pupils achieve their potential.
- Provision in the early years has improved. The outdoor provision has been developed but there is still more to do to maximise the opportunities to teach the prime areas of learning, particularly physical development. This is important as many pupils have limited other opportunities for play. The school must ensure that the outdoor provision is further developed in order to maximise the learning opportunities for children.
- Pupils' attendance is improving, but some pupils, including vulnerable pupils, do not attend school regularly enough. These pupils are missing a high-quality education and the care and support of the school. The school must continue the work to reduce pupil absence and to ensure that pupils arrive to school promptly.
