Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

Reignhead Primary School creates an exceptionally welcoming environment where over 70% of pupils attend extra-curricular clubs because they love learning. The school excels at supporting pupils with additional needs, who make outstanding progress through personalised targets reviewed regularly. Outstanding behaviour and a rich, practical curriculum using the woodland area make this a place where pupils thrive academically and socially.

Key Strengths

  • Disabled pupils and those with special educational needs make outstanding progress through personalised learning and fortnightly target-setting
  • Behaviour is outstanding - pupils are cooperative, courteous and confident with a strong sense of community
  • Teaching assistants make an exceptionally good contribution to pupils' learning, especially supporting pupils with additional needs
  • Assessment and marking are major strengths, with clear feedback to help pupils improve
  • Exciting curriculum makes full use of the woodland area and promotes pupils' enjoyment of learning

Areas for Improvement

  • Teachers sometimes miss opportunities to ask questions that make pupils think deeply or give younger pupils a chance to work things out for themselves
  • Teaching is not yet outstanding - teachers occasionally slow the pace of learning for more-able pupils
  • Pupils tend to use similar words and lack a particularly rich spoken and written vocabulary
  • School development planning is very detailed, making it hard to see the main priorities clearly

Safeguarding

Pupils feel extremely safe because they are taught to respect and help each other, know about different types of bullying including cyber-bullying, and the school has had no racist incidents this year.

Extracurricular Activities

Extra-curricular clubs, woodland lessons, school allotment growing vegetables, eco warriors programme, school council, greenhouse building project
