What This School Does Well
Your child will be cared for in a safe, welcoming environment where behaviour and attendance are strong. The school has a good community spirit that helps children's personal development. In the Early Years, children make excellent progress through well-planned, engaging activities.
Key Strengths
- Children in Early Years make good progress and get off to a good start
- Pupils behave well, feel safe at school, and have consistently above-average attendance
- Strong sense of community that supports pupils' personal development
- Teaching is improving under the acting headteacher's leadership
Areas for Improvement
- Teaching is not consistent enough - some lessons move too slowly and pupils lose interest
- Teachers don't always use pupil assessment information to set work at the right difficulty level, especially for more-able pupils
- Marking doesn't always tell pupils clearly how to improve their work
- Leadership and governance need to be stronger in checking teaching quality and pupil progress
Safeguarding
Safeguarding arrangements are effective - pupils report feeling safe at school and know how to seek help with any concerns.
Coundon Primary School is a larger than average primary school that requires improvement after previously being rated good. Teaching quality and pupil achievement need to improve, though behaviour and safety are good.
