School remains Good Inspected 7 February 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils and their families feel valued and supported at Skinners’ Kent Primary School.”
- “Pupils are known individually and cared for by staff and their peers alike.”
- “They learn about what it means to be a good school friend.”
To improve
- “However, because the school has carefully prioritised its work on the curriculum to take account of teachers’ workload, work to develop teachers’ subject knowledge in a small number of subjects is at an earlier stage.”
- “For example, while pupils have benefited from an increased whole-school focus on music this academic year and enjoy their regular music lessons, teachers do not always explain key learning as well as they might.”
- “This means that pupils do not achieve as well as they could.”
