What This School Does Well

The school's Friday University programme and specialist support rooms show real commitment to nurturing each child's personal development and wellbeing.
Key Strengths
- Strong inclusive culture with excellent support for disadvantaged pupils and those with additional needs through specialist provisions like the Rainbow Room and Sunshine Room
- Friday University programme offers exciting enrichment opportunities including cooking, sports and performance that boost pupil motivation and aspirations
- Calm, positive school environment built on kindness, respect and strong relationships between staff and pupils
- Leaders are taking decisive action to improve basic skills in reading, writing and mathematics with early signs of success
Areas for Improvement
- Pupil achievement at the end of Year 6 remains below national expectations, particularly for disadvantaged pupils
- Too many pupils have poor attendance which is limiting their learning
- Early years provision needs sharper focus on matching learning to children's individual needs
- Teachers are not consistently using information about pupil progress to address misconceptions and errors in lessons
Safeguarding
Safeguarding standards are met - leaders have established an open culture where safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and pupils are made safer and feel safe.
Extracurricular Activities
Friday University (cooking, sports, performance), dance lessons, music and singing in assemblies
Grange Primary School is a warm, inclusive school where pupils enjoy coming to learn and staff are committed to improvement. However, pupil achievement and attendance need to improve to meet national expectations.
