What Ofsted said about Cleeve Primary School
Overview
Cleeve Primary School is an inclusive institution where pupils feel safe and enjoy coming to school, supported by a strong early years provision and effective safeguarding. However, the report highlights that pupil achievement in reading, writing, and mathematics remains below national standards, with inconsistencies in curriculum implementation and low attendance rates requiring urgent attention. Leaders have introduced new strategies to address these issues, but improvements are currently at an early stage and not yet fully embedded across the school.
Strengths
- The early years curriculum is "well planned and clearly sequenced," with staff who are "highly knowledgeable about childhood development."
- Safeguarding standards are met, with an "open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility."
- The school effectively supports pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, identifying needs quickly and providing "targeted and tailored support."
- Pupils feel safe and know how to report concerns, such as using the "ask it basket" for anonymous worries.
- Personal development is "well-organised and coherent," helping pupils understand British values and stay safe online.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure the curriculum is "taught consistently well in all subjects" so pupils secure necessary knowledge and skills.
- Actions are needed to improve attendance and reduce rates of persistent absence, which remain above national figures.
- Teachers must fully support pupils at early learning stages to secure foundational knowledge, including consistent expectations for skills like handwriting.
Safeguarding
The report states that "safeguarding standards are met," noting that leaders have established an open culture where concerns are actively identified and managed, ensuring pupils are made safer and feel safe.
