Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

The school is working hard to improve after a difficult period of staffing changes. The new leadership team has raised expectations and is providing good support to teachers to help them improve their teaching. By the end of Key Stage 2, most pupils are making the expected progress in their learning.

Key Strengths

  • High proportion of pupils making expected progress by end of Key Stage 2
  • Interim headteacher has clearly conveyed higher expectations and is providing valuable support to teachers
  • Governing body is responding positively and has started to take a more active role with their own action plan

Areas for Improvement

  • Progress at end of Key Stage 1 remains variable with reading and writing below national expectations
  • Too few pupils make good progress overall
  • Teaching quality is not yet consistently good across the school
  • School improvement plan needs extending into Spring 2014

Coston Primary School requires improvement and is facing significant staffing challenges including leadership absences and staff turnover. The interim headteacher is taking effective action to address previously identified weaknesses, though teaching quality remains inconsistent.
