What This School Does Well
Grange Primary School has a committed new leadership team working to improve teaching and learning. Children get off to a strong start in Early Years with engaging activities and good progress, and pupils across the school behave well and feel safe. The school is making real improvements, with better teaching emerging and pupils responding well to targeted support.
Key Strengths
- New leadership team is driving forward improvements in teaching and pupil achievement
- Children in Early Years Foundation Stage make good progress with effective planning and resources
- Pupils behave well, feel safe, mix together respectfully, and attendance is above average
- Many pupils joining at other times of year make good progress
- Teaching is improving, particularly in Year 1 and through targeted support sessions
Areas for Improvement
- Progress in reading, writing and mathematics is inconsistent across the school, especially at Key Stage 2
- Teachers do not consistently plan lessons that challenge all pupils, particularly the more able
- Marking in mathematics lacks clear guidance on how pupils can improve
- Support staff are not used effectively during whole-class teaching
- Teachers underuse modern technology for learning
- Pupils have limited opportunities to apply skills across different subjects
Safeguarding
Governors have not been sufficiently challenging in monitoring safeguarding procedures, though no specific safeguarding concerns are detailed in the report.
Grange Primary School requires improvement overall. Although teaching and progress are getting better, too few pupils are working at expected levels in English and mathematics, particularly at Key Stage 2.
