What This School Does Well
The school excels at supporting disadvantaged pupils with targeted help that really works - they progress as well as or better than other children. Teachers give pupils clear, useful feedback to improve their writing and maths. The headteacher has done an impressive job rebuilding the school after difficult times, and pupils now feel proud to be part of the school and enjoy more challenging work.
Key Strengths
- Reading standards are improving rapidly with skilled phonics teaching and pupils making good progress
- Effective guidance in writing and mathematics helps pupils understand how to improve their work
- Disadvantaged pupils receive timely, carefully monitored support and make similar or better progress than peers
- Strong leadership team has restored confidence and stability to the school community
- Attendance rates have improved to national averages with persistent absence reduced
Areas for Improvement
- Teachers need to help pupils deepen their understanding and knowledge of the books they read
- Middle leaders require further skills development to sustain the school's improvements
- Some pupils lack breadth of vocabulary and experiences needed to understand more challenging texts
Safeguarding
Safeguarding is effective with thorough staff checks, detailed records, regular training, and pupils understanding how to stay safe in and out of school including online.
Launcelot Primary School continues to be good. Since the headteacher's appointment in 2015, the school has recovered from a period of staffing turbulence and made significant improvements in reading, writing, and mathematics.
