What This School Does Well
Kenmont Primary School excels at helping children love reading from their first day, with a systematic phonics programme that quickly identifies those needing extra help. The school goes beyond the classroom with a rich enrichment programme including museum visits and library trips, helping children see the world beyond their immediate experience. Staff and leaders work hard to ensure every child, including those with additional needs, can access the same high-quality curriculum and feel valued as part of a welcoming school community.
Key Strengths
- Strong approach to early reading and phonics with quick identification of children needing extra support
- Effective teaching that uses assessment to identify misconceptions and adjust activities accordingly
- Excellent support for pupils with SEND, enabling them to access the same curriculum as their peers
- Comprehensive enrichment programme including visits to museums and local library, plus clubs and competitions with other schools
- Pupils behave well and respond positively to clear behaviour expectations
Areas for Improvement
- Curriculum sequences in some subjects need strengthening so learning builds logically from early years onwards, particularly in the early years classes
- Some teaching activities and resources are not well selected to help pupils understand key subject content
- Teachers need further support to choose activities that match curriculum aims, so pupils can understand and remember knowledge more effectively
Safeguarding
Safeguarding arrangements are effective - leaders have created a strong safeguarding culture with appropriate policies for the school's circumstances, staff receive regular training, and pupils are taught how to keep themselves safe.
Extracurricular Activities
School council, educational outings to London museums, local library visits, competitions and events with partner schools, clubs
Kenmont Primary School is a good primary school where leaders have created an ambitious curriculum that helps pupils enjoy learning and achieve well. Pupils behave positively, feel safe and well cared for, and benefit from a rich programme of educational visits and enrichment activities.
