What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 November 2023
Pupils at Sheringham Primary learn in a happy and safe school community. They enjoy positive relationships with caring staff. Pupils and their families receive effective support for their well-being. Many parents hold positive views about the school and praise a school which 'treats each child as an individual'. Pupils appreciate that adults listen to their views. This is through the range of roles and responsibilities pupils adopt. These include school councillors, house captains and ambassadors. The school has high expectations for all pupils, both personally and academically. Pupils benefit from a well-planned curriculum. They value how teachers make lessons interesting. The school celebrates the different jobs that people have. For example, a past pupil who has a successful career in science visited the school to talk to pupils. This inspires pupils to think about their future and what they might need to do to achieve this ambition themselves. Pupils behave well throughout the day. They focus well in lessons. The school playground, field and multi-use games area are hives of activity. Pupils enjoy playing together with older pupils looking out for younger ones. Pupils are polite and friendly. For example, they open the door for adults with a smile.
What the school should improve
- On occasions, the school does not always ensure that individual targets for pupils with SEND are specific enough. This means that, sometimes, support for pupils with SEND is not closely matched to their needs. The school must ensure that there are clear systems in place, so that all pupils with SEND receive support tailored to their specific needs. This will ensure pupils achieve as well as they could.
