What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 June 2025
Pupils and staff at Sky Primary and Eden Project Nursery are proud to be members of this school community. The school has rightly prioritised a sense of belonging since it first opened in September 2022. Pupils are happy and safe. They take pride in sharing the many aspects of the school they value highly, including their learning beyond the classroom. The school has high expectations of what pupils can achieve. Pupils live up to these expectations and learn the curriculum well. They show positive attitudes to their learning and want to be successful. This is supported through the school's values and 'ways of being'. Pupils know these well. This starts in the early years, where children thrive. The school's offer to support pupils' wider development is exceptional. Pupils benefit from a wide range of experiences that enhance all aspects of school life. These have been carefully mapped out to weave through the school's focus on nature and sustainability. These opportunities bring learning to life, including through the school's unique partnership with the Eden Project. For example, to support pupils' learning in geography about Tanzania, pupils visit the rainforest biome to learn about differing climates and landscapes.
What the school should improve
- Some pupils make errors with handwriting and punctuation that go unaddressed. As a result, these pupils do not develop accuracy in their writing in line with the school's intended curriculum. The trust should support staff in identifying and addressing gaps as they occur, so that pupils can write accurately and confidently across the curriculum.
