What This School Does Well
Children get a strong start in early years through prioritised communication and language development. Reading is a clear strength, with well-trained staff delivering effective phonics so pupils become confident readers. Pupils have wonderful opportunities to learn about their community through visits, grow their own food, and develop leadership skills through roles like reading buddies and school council members.
Key Strengths
- Early years provision is good with strong focus on communication and language development
- Reading is well-taught with effective phonics programme helping pupils become confident and fluent readers
- Pupils benefit from enrichment activities including visits to places of worship, allotment work, and leadership roles
- Pupils feel safe and know their trusted adults
- Early career teachers receive good development support from leaders
Areas for Improvement
- Curriculum in some year groups is not broad enough, leaving pupils unprepared for secondary school
- Teaching is inconsistent and does not always help pupils secure key knowledge and understanding
- Behaviour and bullying incidents are not addressed consistently or quickly enough
- Attendance is below national average and not effectively monitored
- Record-keeping systems are disorganised, preventing rigorous checks on policies and pupil progress
Safeguarding
Safeguarding arrangements are effective, with governors fulfilling their statutory duties and pupils confident to share concerns with trusted adults.
Extracurricular Activities
School allotment, educational visits to places of worship, boxing, street dance, chess, breakfast club, after-school club, reading buddies, play leaders, school council
Rabbsfarm Primary School is a community primary school where pupils enjoy coming to school and benefit from enrichment activities like the school allotment and educational visits. However, the school requires improvement in the quality of education, behaviour management, and leadership.
