What This School Does Well
Victory Primary School does an excellent job helping children who start with skills well below typical levels catch up and thrive. The school places quality books at the heart of learning, creating a real love of reading. Teachers are skilled at understanding each child's needs and giving them exactly the right support to make good progress, whether they have additional learning needs, speak English as an additional language, or come from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Key Strengths
- Pupils make good progress from low starting points to reach average standards
- Quality books and engaging texts promote a strong love of reading
- Teachers match activities well to different learners' needs
- Pupils have extremely positive attitudes to learning and think carefully about improving their work
- Leaders support all groups equally well, including pupils with additional needs and those learning English as an additional language
Areas for Improvement
- Not enough teaching is outstanding to ensure all pupils make rapid progress
- In mathematics, pupils do not always have time to respond to teacher comments in marking, which limits progress
- Pupils are not supported to use the same level of detail and precision in speaking and writing in other subjects as they do in English
Safeguarding
Safeguarding arrangements were found to be effective, with documents relating to child protection and safeguarding carefully scrutinised during the inspection.
Victory Primary School is a good school where pupils achieve well, making good progress from low starting points to reach average standards in English and mathematics by the end of Year 6. Teaching is good because teachers continually improve their practice with strong support from senior leaders.
