Ofsted
Good Inspected 3 October 2023
Strengths
- “The school’s values of ‘aspiration, respect, resilience and co-operation’ filter through everything at Southgate Primary.”
- “Staff are ambitious for pupils, setting consistently high expectations for learning.”
- “Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well academically.”
To improve
- “In these subjects, pupils can clearly describe their current learning, but they are less clear about what they have learned previously.”
- “Where the curriculum is new in some subjects, the school knows that pupils have some gaps in their prior knowledge.”
- “However, books are not always precisely matched to the sounds that pupils know, which means pupils are not always supported to read as well as they should.”
