Radnor Primary School

Overview

Radnor Primary School is described as a “caring and inclusive community” where pupils feel “respected and valued” and relationships are strong. While pupils make suitable progress in literacy and numeracy, and the school excels in promoting physical fitness, inconsistencies in teaching practice and writing opportunities require attention.

Strengths

• Pupils demonstrate “outstanding” understanding of healthy living, with the school utilising limited space “exceptionally well” to support physical activity.
• Provision for pupils with additional needs and those new to English is “successful,” with most making “good progress.”
• The curriculum is “bespoke” and incorporates the local area and cultural diversity effectively, building on pupils’ existing knowledge.
• Strong relationships exist between staff, pupils, governors, and parents, creating a “thoughtful and supportive environment.”

Areas to improve

• Leaders must ensure that effective teaching features are “shared and implemented consistently across the school.”
• Teachers need to provide more consistent and high-quality feedback, as some pupils struggle to verbalise how to improve their learning.
• Adults must provide “sufficient challenging opportunities for pupils to write at length” across the curriculum to strengthen writing skills.
