What This School Does Well
Griffin Primary School has brought in new leadership that is driving real improvements in how subjects are taught. The reading programme is particularly strong, with a focus on phonics and structured learning. The school is working hard to make sure knowledge builds properly from year to year, and has good support from its academy trust to help teachers do this effectively.
Key Strengths
- New leadership has driven positive changes and staff have adapted well to improvements
- Reading curriculum has improved with strong focus on phonics and structured sessions
- School has refined its curriculum by identifying and sequencing key knowledge in logical order
- Academy trust provides robust support through monitoring visits and sharing effective practice across its network
- Leadership team and governors have clear understanding of school's strengths and areas for development
Areas for Improvement
- Some pupils have gaps in learning across subjects due to previous inconsistency in teaching quality
- Work to ensure pupils develop knowledge progressively is not yet fully established
- Curriculum improvements need to be embedded consistently across all year groups, particularly for older pupils with knowledge gaps
Griffin Primary School has made positive progress since its last inspection in November 2023, with a new headteacher and improved curriculum work. However, some aspects of the school still need further development to ensure all pupils build effectively on their prior learning.
