What This School Does Well
Your child will be safe at Nether Green and will enjoy coming to school - behaviour is good, attendance is above average, and pupils feel secure. Reading is a real strength, with pupils encouraged to enjoy a wide range of literature. The school is particularly strong at supporting pupils with special educational needs, who make excellent progress.
Key Strengths
- Good behaviour across the school with above-average attendance and pupils feeling safe and secure
- Some good teaching, particularly in Year 6, where pupils make strong progress
- Above-average attainment by the end of Year 6, especially in reading
- Pupils with special educational needs in the resourced provision make consistently good progress
- The newly strengthened governing body is helping drive school improvement
Areas for Improvement
- Teaching quality is inconsistent - teachers' expectations are not always high enough and activities are not adjusted quickly enough during lessons
- Too few pupils, particularly in Year 3 and 4, make better than expected progress in writing and mathematics
- Marking is inconsistent and some pupils do not receive clear guidance on how to improve their work
- Pupils have limited opportunities to practise maths skills in open-ended investigations
- School improvement plans lack precision in focusing on how pupils will make rapid progress
Safeguarding
Safeguarding measures are in place and well-managed, with good systems for managing behaviour and bullying incidents being rare.
Extracurricular Activities
Wide range of clubs, residential trips, outstanding orchestra
Nether Green Junior School is a larger-than-average primary school that requires improvement. While pupils' behaviour is good and reading progress is strong, inconsistent teaching quality and variable progress in writing and mathematics need to be addressed.
