What This School Does Well
Hannah More is a genuinely welcoming school where children from all backgrounds feel safe and valued. The school excels at introducing young pupils to reading early and provides excellent tailored support for children with additional needs. Staff are proud to work there, and the school's strong community links help support families effectively.
Key Strengths
- Strong personal development offer with a wide range of clubs and activities that build pupil character and aspirations
- Excellent support for pupils with SEND, identified early with tailored help enabling them to access the broad curriculum
- Effective early reading instruction in early years and younger classes, with well-trained staff spotting pupils who need extra help
- Welcoming, inclusive ethos that celebrates the school's diverse range of faiths and cultures
- Strong community links and engagement with families
Areas for Improvement
- Inconsistent teacher expectations and quality of work acceptance across classes, leading to variable pupil progress
- Reading curriculum at key stage 2 and writing curriculum at key stages 1 and 2 lack clarity about what pupils should know and when
- Inconsistent application of behaviour policies by staff, causing low-level disruption and poor behaviour at social times
- Improvement actions lack precision, making it difficult for governors to measure impact
- Safeguarding record-keeping systems need strengthening with more rigorous checking processes
Safeguarding
Safeguarding arrangements are effective, with pupils feeling safe and able to name trusted adults, though some record-keeping and monitoring systems require strengthening to meet statutory guidance fully.
Extracurricular Activities
Breakfast club, after-school club, competitive sport, residentials, careers fairs, wide range of trips, assemblies on sensitive and global issues
Hannah More Primary School is a diverse, inclusive community school that welcomes pupils from various backgrounds, including those arriving mid-education from overseas. However, the quality of education requires improvement, with inconsistent teaching standards and gaps in English curriculum delivery affecting pupil progress.
