What This School Does Well
Campsbourne excels at making learning enjoyable and meaningful. Teachers know their pupils well and use the school's location brilliantly - from forest school in nearby woods to the on-site swimming pool - to bring learning to life. All pupils, including those needing extra support, follow the same rich curriculum and receive high-quality teaching.
Key Strengths
- Reading is taught very effectively with well-trained staff, helping all pupils including those behind develop confidence and fluency
- Curriculum links subjects cleverly so pupils understand connections - for example, using Roman history learning in art lessons
- Strong focus on pupil wellbeing through PSHE, NSPCC workshops, and teaching online and community safety
- Excellent behaviour and attendance with pupils showing respect and positive attitudes to learning
- Teachers have strong subject knowledge and know pupils well, adapting teaching for those with SEND
Areas for Improvement
- Teachers sometimes move lessons on too quickly before checking pupils have understood the content properly
- Leaders need to develop classroom practice further so teachers routinely check understanding and address misconceptions immediately
Safeguarding
Safeguarding arrangements are effective - staff are well trained to report concerns quickly, leaders work with outside agencies to support vulnerable families, and pupils learn to stay safe through PSHE and workshops.
Extracurricular Activities
Forest school, lunchtime and after-school clubs, swimming lessons, leadership roles including anti-bullying ambassadors and school council, visits to local places of interest, workshops from NSPCC and community agencies
Campsbourne Junior School continues to be a good school where pupils enjoy learning, behave well, and feel safe. The school offers an ambitious, well-thought-out curriculum that makes strong use of its local community and environment.
