School Description

Ferham Primary School is not an effective school. Pupils do not learn well, and some pupils say that behaviour at lunchtimes is poor. Pupils are behind in their reading and in their mathematics and are not catching up. Lots of pupils come and go during the year. Leaders say that this is one of the reasons that pupils’ results are so low. Teachers do not have high enough expectations for what pupils can achieve and think that pupils cannot manage the work that is intended to be taught for their age. These low expectations are holding pupils back. Governors do not check whether leaders are tackling bullying effectively. Leaders do not keep sufficiently detailed records of all the incidents of bullying that occur. Pupils are not always kind to one another, and a small number of pupils reported incidents of name calling to inspectors. Pupils say that leaders do stop bullying, but that it can sometimes take too long. Pupils know the school values of courage, equality, friendship, respect, determination, excellence and inspiration. There are value jars around school to remind pupils of them.
