Strengths

“Rampton Primary is a small, close-knit school where staff know pupils individually.”
“Pupils benefit from the warm, nurturing relationships they share with staff.”
“Pupils gain confidence strongly and a deep sense of belonging, because they know that staff care about them.”

To improve

“However, staff do not adapt the curriculum and teaching consistently well, so that all disadvantaged pupils, and all those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, can achieve successfully.”
“However, too many pupils do not achieve well enough, including when they leave the early years.”
“For example, many pupils do not secure essential knowledge of mathematics.”
