We're a GOOD school.
The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection took place in May 2023. Following the full inspection in March 2014, which judged the school to be Good, we were subject to a short one-day visit. This inspection confirmed that the school continues to be Good.
The report highlighted several strengths:
- Pupils take pride in being part of Harston and Newton Primary School.
- They achieve well and consistently meet the high expectations set by staff.
- Their school experience is joyful and enriching, helping them grow into responsible young people who embody the school’s values and show respect.
- The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, with teachers demonstrating strong subject knowledge and explaining new concepts clearly.
- Pupils benefit from a wide range of opportunities to broaden their horizons. Music is a vibrant part of school life, complemented by numerous sports clubs and competitions.
