Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

This is a caring, close-knit community where every child feels known and supported by staff. The school excels at teaching children to read early and confidently, while providing excellent support for pupils with additional needs. Pupils develop strong values of love, joy and resilience, and parents praise the school for going 'above and beyond' for their children.

Key Strengths

  • Vibrant reading culture with strong phonics teaching and pupils who read fluently from a young age
  • Excellent support for pupils with SEND, identified early with individualised resources and modified materials
  • Strong pastoral support and nurture provision helping pupils manage emotions and feel valued
  • High-quality, broad and balanced curriculum with well-sequenced learning
  • Well-established routines and high expectations starting from Reception Year

Areas for Improvement

  • Pupils do not remember key learning securely across all areas of the curriculum - some foundation subjects need better revisiting of prior knowledge
  • Misconceptions and errors in learning are not dealt with consistently enough, particularly in written work, leading to repeated mistakes
  • Staff need to resolve pupil errors more promptly to prevent pupils falling behind

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with an open and positive culture that puts pupils' interests first.

Extracurricular Activities

STEM workshops, visits from representatives of different professions, fundraising for local and national charities, support for a school in Africa

Naseby Church of England Primary Academy is a friendly village school where pupils are happy, well-cared for, and achieve well. The school has maintained good standards with effective leadership and a strong sense of community.
