Kingsham Primary School was last inspected by Ofsted in June 2025.

The school was judged to have taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection which was in January 2020: Good in all areas.

Highlights of the report:

The parent who commented that they ‘have seen the school go from strength to strength’ captured Kingsham’s journey over recent years perfectly.

 "School leaders, the local governing body and the trust are united in their ‘no excuses’ approach."

Staff on the gate and at the classroom doors greet pupils by name and with a welcoming smile. They are ready to hear what is going on in pupils’ lives beyond school, answer parents’ and carers’ questions and sort out any worries.

"Great care is taken to nurture pupils’ empathy and awareness of issues facing people wherever they may be in the world." 

Pupils are, as the school promises, ‘transported beyond the walls of the academy’ to give them experiences that they might not otherwise have and to broaden their horizons.

 "High expectations of how pupils will behave and how staff support pupils to behave well are embedded."

Learning in each subject is plotted carefully to build on the early years curriculum through to the end of Year 6.

"The performing arts ‘showcase’ in the university theatre is a highlight of the year, fostering self-assurance as well as talent."

Older pupils make a significant contribution to school life through their various leadership roles.
