Ubley Primary School is a welcoming and caring place to learn. Pupils flourish in the school's inclusive and warm ethos. They relish the experiences on offer. Pupils learn well across a range of subjects. They feel safe at school. Many say that the school is like a 'second family'. From the time pupils start school, leaders place great emphasis on supporting their emotional and social well-being. There is strong pastoral care for all pupils, including those with additional needs. Leaders develop pupils' character by offering rich experiences, such as theatre trips and leadership roles. Pupils have a strong appreciation of fundamental British values. This threads through school life. Staff have high expectations for all members of the school community. They share the ambition for every pupil to do as well as they can. Breaktimes are happy, calm and orderly. Pupils say that bullying is rare and is not a concern. They are confident that staff would sort it out quickly should it happen. Pupils know that they can use the 'worry box' or talk to a trusted adult if they have a problem. Many parents praise the school's work. They comment on the sense of community, care and nurture the school develops in every child.

What the school should improve

  • In a few foundation subjects, teachers do not use assessment precisely enough to plan the next steps in pupils' learning. As a result, pupils do not develop the same depth of knowledge as they do in other subjects. Leaders should ensure that assessment information supports teachers to shape future teaching so that pupils know and remember more in these subjects.
