Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school Fen Drayton Primary School continues to provide pupils with a good start to their education, and to prepare them well for their next school. Governors are effective.

They have a 'can-do' approach. With the headteacher and staff, they share a determination to further improve the quality of education provided for pupils. Throughout the school, from their differing starting points, pupils generally make good progress.

In English lessons, pupils demonstrate good understanding of grammar and punctuation. However, teachers do not make sure pupils use this knowledge in their writing. Occasionally, the small proportion of pupils who struggle with... mathematics are left uncertain about their learning because they are moved on before they are ready.

Pupils' behaviour is good. In lessons, they try hard and want to learn because they value their education. They take pride in themselves and their school.

They respond positively to the '5 Rs' that permeate every aspect of school life. Pupils' personal development is good. Pupils enjoy working together and helping one another.

Pupils said they feel happy, safe and well cared for in school. The vast majority of parents agree. English and mathematics subject leaders regularly check on pupils' learning, and use this information to make improvements.

In some other subjects, this is not the case. The school is highly valued by the village community. In discussion, parents said they particularly like the 'family-feel' and that the children play and work together so well.
