Safeguarding and Wellbeing is Strong

Pupils are welcoming at Avishayes Community Primary School. There are strong

relationships between staff and pupils. Throughout the school, pupils are well cared for. Any unkind behaviour, such as bullying, is dealt with quickly. Staff know the pupils well.

Pupils feel safe are confident that staff will address any concerns if this is needed.

Support for pupils’ well-being is a strength. Pupils follow the school rules to be ready,

respectful and safe to learn.

Opportunities to develop pupils’ personal development are carefully considered. Pupils are

given opportunities to develop talents and interests. Pupils appreciate the range of clubs

on offer, such as football, gymnastics and performance poetry. School ambassadors take

their roles seriously and wear their school blazers with pride. They are strong role models

for younger pupils to follow.

Learning

The carefully designed curriculum in early years supports children to make a strong start.

The early years curriculum is ambitious and well sequenced to ensure that children’s

knowledge builds from Nursery into Reception. Knowledgeable staff ensure that learning

is engaging and purposeful. Children enjoy learning and playing together. The high

expectations of staff ensure routines are well established.

The school works closely with parents and pupils to highlight the importance of attending

school. It identifies any barriers to good attendance. The school recognises that those

pupils who are absent too often need more help to attend school regularly. As a result of

the school’s work, some pupils’ attendance is improving.

The school’s personal development programme is a strength. The school offers a wide

range of experiences for pupils both within and beyond their local community. Pupils have

a secure knowledge of fundamental British values and treat each other with respect.
