Keyworth Primary and Nursery School

Overview: Keyworth Primary and Nursery School is a happy school that takes good care of its pupils, with consistently positive relationships between adults and pupils. Pupils feel valued and are well prepared for the next stage of their education and for life in modern Britain.

Strengths:

• Pupils behave well and strive to show good manners and respect.
• The school promotes a culture of reading, with pupils studying a wide range of texts, authors and genres.
• Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well supported, with leaders systematically building a detailed and accurate understanding of their needs.
• The early years curriculum sets out important milestones that children are expected to achieve at each stage of their journey through Nursery and the Reception Year.
• The school's work to support pupils' personal development is a strength, with a well-structured programme for personal, social and health education (PSHE).

Areas to improve:

• In a small number of subjects, the curriculum does not identify the most important content that pupils are expected to know and remember, resulting in some minor inconsistencies in how well pupils learn and remember content.
• In a small number of cases, safeguarding records do not fully document the actions and decisions that the school has taken to keep pupils safe.

Safeguarding: The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, but in a small number of cases, safeguarding records do not fully document the actions and decisions that the school has taken to keep pupils safe.
