Inspection summary

Shamblehurst Primary School continues to be a good school, where the motto 'Together we can' is evident through respectful relationships between pupils and staff. Inspectors found that pupils benefit from a structured curriculum and high ambitions for all, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).

Strengths

What inspectors noted positively.

  • Successful implementation of a phonics scheme ensuring pupils learn to read quickly.
  • Calm and purposeful school environment with a consistent approach to behavior management.
  • Carefully considered adaptations for pupils with SEND to ensure their individual needs are met.

Things parents should investigate

Neutral topics you may wish to explore.

  • Refinement of the curriculum in a few foundation subjects where precise knowledge is not yet defined.
  • Ensuring pupils can recall subject-specific content rather than just the general topic in all subjects.
  • The ongoing development of pupils' ability to recall what they have learned in subjects where learning is less precise.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, supported by a tenacious safeguarding team and a strong culture of vigilance.

Leadership

Leaders and governors maintain safeguarding as a priority and have invested in training staff to ensure high expectations for behavior and curriculum delivery.
