In our most recent inspection Ofsted had the following to say about our school.
What is it like to attend this school?
Coundon Primary School is an inclusive school that recognises and celebrates difference.
The core values of kindness, respect, responsibility and resilience shine through. Pupils
enjoy the nurturing environment provided by staff. The school puts pupils’ best interests
at the heart of its decision-making. Their voice is heard, and their achievements are
celebrated. As a result, pupils work hard and achieve well.
When they join in the early years, children are supported to make a smooth transition into
school. The school also welcomes pupils at different points in the school year. Whenever
pupils join, the staff go the extra mile to help them to feel part of this school.
Pupils know the school’s expectations of their behaviour. They behave well. Pupils are kind
and courteous to each other and to staff. Teachers deal with any rare incidents of poor
behaviour very effectively.
There are many wider opportunities on offer to all pupils. Pupils with special educational
needs and/or disabilities (SEND) get the support they need to flourish. Many pupils said
that they enjoy learning a musical instrument. Others talked positively about going on
residential trips to learn team-building skills, while visits to local places of interest are
helping pupils to develop their understanding of their local community
