From Ofsted report, inspected Apr 2022

Strengths

  • “Pupils really enjoy coming to Pinkwell Primary School.”
  • “They said that the thing they like the most about their school is the learning.”
  • “Staff set high expectations for pupils’ learning and behaviour.”

To improve

  • “Some staff are new to leaders’ approach to the curriculum in the foundation subjects.”
  • “They sometimes lack the subject-specific knowledge to support them to put the curriculum into practice.”
  • “Leaders should continue their work to train and support staff in delivering the curriculum so that it is firmly embedded throughout the school.”
