Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

Edgebury Primary School has made good improvements to English teaching, with pupils now enjoying reading and making better progress. Children in Early Years develop well, and the school creates a calm, orderly environment where all pupils, including those with special needs, are well supported. Pupils are polite, well-behaved, and genuinely happy to come to school.

Key Strengths

  • Children in Early Years learn well and make good progress
  • Reading and English teaching has improved, helping pupils enjoy books and make better progress
  • Pupils behave well, have positive attitudes to learning, and attend school regularly
  • The school promotes spiritual, moral, social and cultural development well
  • Additional support for pupils with special needs is effective

Areas for Improvement

  • Expectations for pupil achievement are not high enough, especially in mathematics
  • Teaching is inconsistent and doesn't always match work to different ability levels
  • Teachers' marking and feedback don't clearly show pupils how to improve, particularly in maths
  • School leaders haven't acted quickly enough to improve mathematics teaching
  • Governors don't challenge the school sufficiently to drive rapid improvement

Safeguarding

Safeguarding is effective - pupils feel safe, bullying is rare, and staff deal with incidents like unkind comments effectively.

Extracurricular Activities

Reading aloud to visiting volunteers, anti-bullying events, computer safety guidance, road safety and bicycle training, swimming lessons in the school's outdoor heated pool

Edgebury Primary School requires improvement after previously being rated outstanding. While pupils behave well and enjoy school, teaching quality is inconsistent and achievement, particularly in mathematics, needs to improve.
