What This School Does Well
The school has created a warm and nurturing environment where pupils develop strong personal and social skills and grow in confidence. Pupils learn about healthy lifestyles, positive relationships and online safety through an age-appropriate curriculum. The school works closely with families and other professionals to support pupils facing challenges, with parents valuing the communication and support they receive.
Key Strengths
- Safeguarding standards are met with an open and positive culture where concerns are actively identified and managed
- Pupils develop mature understanding of British values through school council participation and learning about democracy, tolerance and respect
- Personal development is placed at the heart of the school with clear knowledge and skills outlined from Reception to Year 6
Areas for Improvement
- Pupils' attainment in reading, writing and mathematics is far below national standards and has been for years
- Attendance rates are significantly lower than national average, particularly affecting disadvantaged pupils and those with SEND
- Teachers do not consistently match teaching to pupils' needs, especially for those with SEND who do not receive effective support
- Behaviour policy is not applied consistently, leaving many pupils without a calm, orderly learning environment
- Early years curriculum does not help children build knowledge systematically, with variable phonics teaching
Safeguarding
Safeguarding standards are met. Leaders and governors have established an open culture where safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and pupils are made safer and feel safe.
Extracurricular Activities
manga club, hairdressing club, choir, Year 6 residential trip to Paris
Charles Saer Community Primary School requires special measures as it is failing to provide an acceptable standard of education. Leaders and governors have not acted with sufficient urgency to improve pupils' education, particularly for disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs.
