Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Beormund Primary School gives pupils the confidence and skills to overcome the challenges that they face every day. To say that pupils get an excellent education is an understatement. Their achievements in the subjects that they are taught are particularly strong, especially given that they have often previously found attending school a challenging experience. However, it is the way that the school helps pupils to be successful in the round that makes the difference.
The school sees pupils' academic and personal learning as two sides of the same coin. One leads to the other. Pupils learn well because they are taught how to manage their emotions. They behave well because they are motivated by an aspirational and broad curriculum. This prepares pupils most effectively for secondary school.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
One of the features that makes this school exceptional is the way every little detail of the school's work builds seamlessly, one upon another, to facilitate success in pupils' learning and wider development. This is what ensures that all pupils have the knowledge and skills that they need to succeed in the future.
One of the reasons for this is that everything works in a deliberate and purposeful way. The 'shillings' scheme, for example, works on many different levels. It provides opportunities for pupils to self-regulate, for staff to check learning and for the school to test out the impact of its work. It contributes to pupils' motivation and their regular attendance. The scheme is both unique and exceptional.
