Wren Park Primary School

Overview

Wren Park Primary School delivers an education where pupils achieve well and are “well prepared for the next stage of their education.” The report highlights a “well-planned” curriculum and strong provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). However, leaders must address inconsistencies in behaviour management, attendance for vulnerable groups, and engagement with parents.

Strengths

• Pupils “remember what they have learned” and achieve well in phonics, reading, writing, and mathematics.
• The curriculum is “well planned and sequenced,” ensuring content builds cumulatively and prepares pupils effectively.
• Provision for pupils with SEND is “strengthened,” with accurate identification of needs and tailored support.
• Safeguarding standards are met, with an “open culture” where concerns are actively identified and managed.
• Early years provision is positive, with children mastering “foundational knowledge” and showing enthusiasm for learning.

Areas to improve

• Attendance for disadvantaged pupils and those with SEND remains “too low” and requires targeted improvement.
• The behaviour policy lacks clarity on handling “low-level incidents of poor behaviour,” and the anti-bullying policy is not consistently applied.
• Leaders’ improvement plans “lack precision,” and the pupil premium strategy does not clearly explain how actions will be evaluated.

Safeguarding

The report states that “safeguarding standards are met,” noting that leaders have established an “open culture” where safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and pupils are made safer.
