What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 18 April 2023

Pupils thrive in this inclusive and nurturing school. The school's vision of 'building resilience and lifelong learning' is central to life at Sevenoaks Primary. Pupils value the high level of support and care they receive from their teachers. They feel happy and safe. Pupils describe the school as 'joyful, fantastic and fun'. The school's values of 'courage, kindness, creativity, team, love of learning and perseverance' are a key part of daily life. Pupils behave well and enjoy working together. Relationships between staff and pupils are strong. Pupils do not worry about bullying; it rarely happens here and is always resolved quickly. They know that they can talk to staff about any concerns or leave a message in their 'worry boxes'. Staff have high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They consistently promote pupils' personal development as well as their academic achievements. Pupils relish the range of clubs and activities on offer that help them explore interests and talents outside of lessons. They enjoy attending after-school clubs, such as orchestra, handball and musical theatre. Pupils enjoy the educational visits staff plan, including the residential trip to Marchants Hill and attending the Young Voices event. These opportunities help to deepen their learning.

What the school should improve

  • Teachers' assessment of pupils' learning is not well developed in a minority of subjects. This means that teachers are not able to finely tune what they teach, and pupils are not able to connect with and build on prior learning well enough. Leaders need to continue to develop assessment practice in these subjects so that pupils can learn equally well across the breadth of the curriculum.
