Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Pupils at Constantine Primary School are happy and proud to attend their village school. They enter the school gates with a smile on their faces and a thirst for learning. Through their three school promises, pupils demonstrate thought and care towards others, as well as in their learning. They are well mannered and kind towards others.
Pupils value the care they receive from adults in their school. Older pupils become positive role models. For example, they buddy read with younger pupils regularly and support each other with their play during social times.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school and the trust are relentless in their approach to strengthening the quality of education pupils receive. Staff benefit from high-quality professional development from the trust, which is 'genuinely useful' in improving teaching and outcomes for pupils. In recent years, the school has undertaken significant school improvement work. This has been effective and appreciated by many within the parental community. However, a small number of parents and carers continue to raise concerns about the communication between home and school. The school is highly committed to strengthening these relationships so that they can work in partnership with all parents.
Reading is the 'heartbeat of the curriculum'. As soon as children begin school in the Reception Year, they learn a well-thought-out phonics curriculum. All pupils learn the sounds that letters make and become fluent readers. Pupils read carefully selected, engaging books as part of their guided reading curriculum. As a result, pupils love to read and can do so well. They are highly motivated to visit their new library to find books to read for pleasure. The small number of pupils who find learning to read hard receive swift and effective support.
