Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

Causeway Green Primary School does an excellent job supporting pupils who start with well below average skills and knowledge, helping them reach average standards by the end. The school excels at teaching reading and provides strong, tailored support for pupils with special needs or those needing extra help. Teachers create an engaging, positive learning environment where pupils are keen to learn and feel safe.

Key Strengths

  • Accurate assessment used effectively to plan lessons that meet pupils' learning needs
  • Teaching of reading is a particular strength throughout the school
  • Pupils identified as needing additional support make accelerated progress
  • Good behaviour and positive relationships - pupils feel safe and enjoy learning
  • Proactive care and support for vulnerable pupils

Areas for Improvement

  • Progress in Key Stage 1 is not as strong as the rest of the school, particularly in writing and mathematics
  • More-able pupils do not always receive challenging work early enough in lessons
  • Insufficient opportunities for pupils to write at length and solve practical maths problems across subjects
  • Lesson observations by leaders do not always focus clearly on different groups' progress
  • Improvement targets are not routinely set for pupils to make good or outstanding progress

Safeguarding

Safeguarding is effective - pupils have a clear understanding of bullying, are taught to keep themselves safe including online, and the school is proactive in supporting those whose circumstances make them vulnerable.

Extracurricular Activities

breakfast club

Causeway Green Primary School is a good school where pupils from low starting points make good progress and achieve average standards by the time they leave.
