JohnSwillington Primary School continues to be a good school, Ofsted inspectors have said.
The ‘exemplary’ behaviour of pupils is praised, along with the ‘ambitious and challenging curriculum for pupils. The school also has an absolute focus on developing a love of reading.
The report says: “Swillington Primary School continues to improve at a rapid pace. The school delivers a broad and balanced curriculum that is designed to meet the needs of its pupils.
“This is skilfully taught by well trained staff. There are a small number of subjects that are still being developed by the school. However, pupils achieve well in most subjects.”
In a small number of subjects the curriculum needs to be refined, the report notes. In these subjects, teachers do not always choose the most effective activities to deliver the curriculum. Pupils do not build knowledge as well as in other subjects.
