What This School Does Well
Grange Primary School has created a happy, supportive environment where children feel safe and well cared for. The school has invested significantly in reading resources and provision, with boys now making much better progress. Staff have high expectations for all pupils and provide well-targeted support to help every child succeed.
Key Strengths
- Strong nurturing ethos with happy, calm and orderly school where children behave well and feel safe
- Effective leadership with high expectations and clear school vision of 'Growing the Seeds for Lifelong Learning'
- Significant improvements in reading provision with boys now progressing closer to girls
- Attendance rates improved and now in line with national average
- Effective safeguarding with clear systems and strong culture of safety
Areas for Improvement
- Reading attainment at end of key stage 2 lower than national average, particularly for boys - need for more challenging book selection guidance
- Outcomes for disadvantaged pupils (pupil premium) below national average and below their peers
- Most able pupils not sufficiently challenged in some lessons with inconsistent teaching quality across school
- Need for greater consistency in teaching and learning throughout school
- More middle and senior leaders need wider responsibility for monitoring and evaluation
Safeguarding
Safeguarding is effective with clear systems, well-maintained records, effective staff training, and strong collaborative working with external agencies to keep pupils safe.
Grange Primary School continues to be good. The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education since the previous inspection in January 2013, successfully navigating challenging circumstances and addressing areas for improvement.
