What This School Does Well

Queensway Primary School has created a calm, respectful environment where children are enthusiastic learners. The school is ambitious for all pupils, including those with special needs, and has a strong focus on teaching early reading through a well-structured phonics programme. Children benefit from a broad personal development curriculum that teaches them to understand and respect people from different backgrounds and communities.

Key Strengths

  • Clear rules and expectations create a calm, respectful learning environment where pupils behave well and move around school peacefully
  • Well-structured phonics programme with regular staff training ensures pupils develop strong early reading skills

  • Early years provision is well-defined with staff who interact positively with children and quickly identify those needing support

Areas for Improvement

  • In some subjects, activities and tasks don't give pupils the best chance to build knowledge, leading to gaps in learning
  • Some older pupils, including those with special educational needs, don't receive effective enough support to catch up in reading and mathematics
  • Attendance support for families comes too late - the school should engage with families sooner to prevent poor attendance patterns developing

Safeguarding
