What This School Does Well
The school creates a caring, kind environment where children develop well from Reception onwards, with a particular strength in teaching reading. Pupils are proud of their school and the opportunities to take on responsibilities, and they benefit from a broad range of enriching experiences that build their understanding of different cultures and develop them as thoughtful citizens.
Key Strengths
- Strong start in Reception with well-sequenced early years curriculum and children achieving well -
- Reading is a priority with effective phonics teaching and pupils reading widely and often -
- Consistently good behaviour promoted from Reception onwards with respectful interactions -
- Broad personal development opportunities including residentials, trips and workshops -
- Pupils enjoy meaningful leadership roles like school council and play leaders
Areas for Improvement
- Teachers lack sufficient expertise to adapt learning activities for pupils with SEND, limiting their progress -
- In many subjects, learning activities do not sufficiently cover key curriculum content, leaving pupils' knowledge insecure -
- Attendance of disadvantaged pupils remains too low despite school efforts, causing them to miss key learning
Safeguarding
Safeguarding arrangements are effective with staff and pupils confident that concerns will be acted on swiftly.
Extracurricular Activities
School council, house captains, play leaders, broad range of clubs, residentials, trips, workshops
Culverstone Green Primary School is a happy and vibrant community where pupils feel supported and behave well, but the overall quality of education requires improvement as pupils do not achieve as well as they should across many subjects.
