Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

Welbourne Primary School excels at supporting all pupils, especially those with special needs or from disadvantaged backgrounds, with precise and well-targeted support. The school creates a safe, kind and respectful environment where pupils develop confidence and resilience through creative activities, sports and peer support programmes. Strong leadership and a focus on staff professional development mean that teachers are well-supported to deliver high-quality teaching.

Key Strengths

  • Strong leadership that has quickly established clear systems for tracking progress and responding to emerging priorities
  • Excellent support for pupils with special educational needs and education, health and care plans
  • Well-designed personal development programme that builds social skills, cultural understanding and confidence
  • Positive behaviour across the school with new routines reducing low-level disruption
  • Strong provision for 2- and 3-year-olds with stimulating activities and careful attention to individual needs

Areas for Improvement

  • Attendance remains below national average, particularly for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities
  • Inconsistent classroom support for some pupils who find learning difficult means they may lose concentration
  • Teaching does not consistently enable all pupils to consolidate important knowledge
  • Early years provision needs further consolidation in language and communication support
  • Some inconsistencies in teaching quality and adult support across different classes

Safeguarding

Safeguarding standards are met - leaders have established an open culture where safeguarding is everyone's responsibility, concerns are actively identified and managed, and pupils are made safer and feel safe.

Extracurricular Activities

Drama, music, sports, fundraising events, peer mentoring in the playground

Welbourne Primary School is an inclusive school where pupils make steady progress across most areas of the curriculum and benefit from a thoughtfully designed personal development programme. While safeguarding is effective and leadership is strong, the school recognizes that further work is needed to embed consistent classroom support for some pupils who find learning difficult.
