What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 1 March 2023

Pupils are proud to attend Southcoates Primary Academy. Staff have high expectations of all pupils. The school works in partnership with parents and carers to benefit pupils in their development and learning. Leaders and staff are at the school gates to welcome the pupils every day. Parents are able to discuss any concerns they may have about their child with leaders. Parents value this approach. Pupils feel safe in school. Incidents of bullying are rare. Pupils learn about different types of bullying, including physical, verbal, social and cyber-bullying. They know what to do if they, or a friend, are being bullied. Staff address their concerns swiftly. Pupils behave well in lessons and around school. They are polite to visitors and conduct themselves with maturity. Classrooms are calm environments that enable pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to concentrate and learn. From a young age, pupils are supported to be independent and responsible. This prepares them well for the next stage of their education.

What the school should improve

  • Leaders' improvement plans do not set out the expected end points of their work consistently well. Subject leaders do not understand how their work connects with the school's improvement priorities. Senior leaders should ensure that all staff know their role in the development of the school further.
