The Royal Kent CofE Primary School

Overview: The Royal Kent CofE Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils are confident and independent, and behave well. They are proud members of the school community and work hard to meet teachers' high expectations.

Strengths:

• Pupils are confident and independent, and behave well.
• Pupils are proud members of the school community and work hard to meet teachers' high expectations.
• Teachers understand the needs of pupils well and plan adaptations for pupils with SEND to ensure they can learn the same curriculum as their peers.
• Pupils, including those with SEND, achieve well and produce interesting work that demonstrates the clear progression of the skills and knowledge they learn.
• The school prioritises reading and skilled teachers deliver the well-considered phonics scheme effectively.

Areas to improve:

• In some subjects, teachers do not plan activities that support pupils in learning key information and vocabulary carefully enough, resulting in pupils not learning as well as they could.

Safeguarding: The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
