Pupils are happy and enjoy their learning at Templars Primary School. They are polite, kind and respectful to each other. Pupils have pride in their school and work hard during lessons. They know their teachers have high expectations of them. The school vision is: 'Every pupil, every day, every chance'. This is clearly seen throughout lessons in school. Pupils behave well in lessons and around school. They know what teachers expect of them. The school behaviour system supports pupils to behave well. Some occasional bullying is dealt with effectively. Pupils said there is a little bullying. They said adults deal with it quickly and to their satisfaction. There is a very calm and purposeful atmosphere in school. Pupils are kept safe in this school. They play happily together with their friends on the well-supervised playground. Pupils said they feel safe on the playground and in school. Leaders and staff encourage pupils to participate in the wide range of clubs. These ignite pupils' interest and aspirations. Pupils enjoy taking part in clubs, such as the rowing club and the model car racing club. Lessons are supplemented well by trips to a wide range of locations to support learning. The clubs and visits are some of the ways leaders and staff work to widen pupils' horizons.

What the school should improve

• Subject plans identify the specific knowledge that pupils should learn. However, this key knowledge, in some subjects, is not always made memorable enough for all pupils. Leaders should ensure teachers identify and share the key knowledge with pupils in a memorable way so that pupils can remember what they need to know and recall over time.
