Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

John Perryn Primary School excels at supporting diverse learners, including those learning English as an additional language and those with special needs, ensuring all pupils make good progress. Teaching is good overall with some outstanding lessons, and the school has successfully improved attendance and behaviour through strong leadership and partnership with parents. Pupils are proud of their school and feel safe, respected and well-looked after.

Key Strengths

  • Most pupils make good progress and some achieve exceptional progress from their starting points
  • Reading instruction is effective - most pupils learn to read quickly and reach expected levels
  • Teaching is good overall with some outstanding lessons, and relationships between adults and pupils are very positive
  • Pupils with additional needs (including those learning English as an additional language, those in care, and those with disabilities) are well supported with no significant gaps in performance
  • Leadership is strong and decisive, with ambitious improvement plans driving consistent progress

Areas for Improvement

  • Work set for the most able pupils is not always challenging enough, particularly in English
  • Not all teaching is consistently good or better - some lessons have lower expectations
  • More able pupils need greater opportunities to write at length across all subjects

Safeguarding

Safeguarding is effective - the school has well-developed systems for pupil safety, with pupils reporting they feel safe and respected, positive relationships with adults, and rare behaviour incidents carefully logged and managed.

John Perryn Primary School is a good school serving a diverse urban community where most pupils make good progress and achieve well in most subjects. The school has improved consistently over three years under strong leadership, with rising standards and improved attendance.
