What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 July 2023
Pupils at Ugborough Primary School are vibrant and enthusiastic. They talk about their school and learning with pride. Pupils say that one of the best things about the school is the staff. Strong and nurturing relationships between pupils and staff underpin the school culture and ethos. Pupils strive to meet the high expectations staff have of them. This makes the school a motivational, yet calm, place to learn. Pupils have a wide range of opportunities to enrich and extend their learning in the classroom. They value the experiences they have on residential trips, visits to support curriculum learning and the wide range of extra-curricular clubs. Pupils talk with joy about opportunities for singing and performing arts, including the current leavers' production of 'Treasure Island'. The school council has an active role in the school. For example, they have managed to fundraise to improve the equipment used at playtimes. These experiences strengthen pupils' learning about respect for others, resilience and self- awareness. Pupils are well prepared for the next steps in their education. Parents and carers praise the school for the community feel. They have high regard for the pastoral and academic provision from the whole staff team.
What the school should improve
- Subjects in the wider curriculum are not as well developed as core subject areas. Leaders have started to strengthen the curriculum in some subjects. Despite this, pupils do not learn as well as they could because there is not a fully established, whole-school approach to the curriculum and how it is assessed. Leaders need to continue the development of the wider curriculum, so it aligns more closely with the strong provision for pupils' learning in core subjects.
