What This School Does Well

Coleridge Primary School excels at challenging pupils to learn quickly and sustain their progress across all subjects. The school offers a wonderfully creative curriculum with particularly impressive art displays, and pupils genuinely love coming to school - they behave excellently and feel very safe and secure. The leadership team prioritises staff development, which has resulted in stable, skilled teachers who create a calm, harmonious learning environment across both school sites.

  • Art is a major strength with a creative, vibrant and exciting curriculum that engages pupils
  • Exemplary pupil behaviour with a harmonious and calm atmosphere at all times
  • High-quality early years provision where children make rapid progress in a stimulating environment
  • Effective promotion of pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development alongside understanding of modern Britain

Areas for Improvement

  • Include tighter and more measurable targets in the school improvement plan with clear milestones for progress, so leaders can evaluate success more effectively

Safeguarding

Safeguarding arrangements are very secure and rigorously implemented, with staff highly vigilant in spotting and promptly addressing concerns, including employing a school counsellor for vulnerable pupils and families.

Extracurricular Activities

Forest school experiences, after-school clubs with staff-led activities (Thursdays), extended sports and physical education programmes
