Areas for Improvement
- Achievement for pupils with SEND is variable and gaps in knowledge are not always identified quickly enough
- Teaching quality is inconsistent, particularly in phonics and early years
- Teachers do not check pupils' learning regularly enough to close gaps in basic skills like handwriting, spelling and punctuation
- Adaptations to teaching for vulnerable pupils are not always matched sharply enough to individual needs
Safeguarding
Safeguarding standards are met - leaders have established an open culture where safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and pupils are made safer and feel safe.
Extracurricular Activities
Football, gymnastics, choir, drawing, activity centres, space museum trips, culture days
Claregate Primary School provides a welcoming, calm environment where pupils behave well and feel safe and valued. However, the school needs to improve teaching quality and how quickly gaps in learning are identified and addressed, particularly for pupils with special educational needs.
