What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 October 2022
Troon Primary is a nurturing and inclusive school. The staff team know the pupils and their families very well. Every pupil receives a warm welcome and a smile at the start of each day. Leaders have high expectations of what pupils can achieve and how they should behave. Pupils show determination to meet these challenges. They feel happy and safe. Pupils are eager to learn and work hard in lessons. Around school, pupils are well mannered. They play well together on the playground. Bullying rarely happens. Pupils say that if they have any worries, staff listen and deal with their concerns swiftly. Leaders place a high value on pupils having a wide range of experiences beyond the classroom. As a result, staff enrich the curriculum by planning many trips and activities. These broaden pupils' horizons. Staff share a strong commitment that all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), should have the opportunity to participate in all activities. One parent sums up a common view of many parents and carers: 'My children look forwards to the start of each day and always leave at the end of the day with a smile.'
What the school should improve
- In foundation subjects, some pupils are not secure in recalling the key knowledge set out in curriculum plans. This makes it hard for pupils to link new learning to learning from previous years. Leaders must refine the curriculum in these subjects so that all pupils develop the necessary depth of knowledge to meet leaders' expectations.
