Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Newburgh Primary School is a friendly and nurturing school. Pupils are happy and settled here. They are keen to come to school and learn well. Pupils flourish because adults take great care of them. Staff know them and their families well. Parents and carers are very supportive of the school.
Pupils are respectful, well-mannered, polite and courteous. They behave well in lessons and around school. The 'NEWBURGH' values sum up the behaviours and attitudes expected throughout the school. These include being nurturing, engaging, welcoming, considerate and resilient. During social times, pupils play together well and look after each other.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school's curriculum is broad and ambitious. The school has sequenced the knowledge, skills and vocabulary that they want pupils to know and when. Expectations for all pupils are high. In many subjects, the curriculum is taught well and pupils make good progress in their learning. However, in a few subjects, the school's agreed teaching strategies are not consistently implemented by all teachers. This means that, for some pupils, learning is slowed.
The school routinely reviews the curriculum and makes necessary changes to continue to improve it. However, some subject leaders have not had the opportunity to check how well their subject is taught. Hence, they do not have an accurate picture of where necessary improvements are needed to improve it further.
