Village school graded 'Excellent' for its academic and pupil development

A village primary school has been recognised for it's academic achievements and personal development of pupils. Plumtree Primary School has received an 'Excellent' judgement from the Independent Schools Inspectorate.

Inspectors visited the school, near Keyworth, in March 2023 and assessed the quality of education provided, the cultural development and safety of pupils, as well as the quality of leadership, suitability of staff and provision of information. Within the report, it states: "Pupils are highly confident and self-aware, flourishing in an environment which is characterised by pupils’ strong and productive relationships with each other and with the adults in the school community.

"Poised and mature, they are self-reflective, recognising their strengths and taking a clear but modest pride in their achievements." It was also noted that pupils "have an excellent awareness of the diversity within their own school and wider society" and make "an excellent contribution to the school community through meaningful and impactful roles."

To improve, it was recommended that the school enables pupils to improve their ICT schools, and use these skills to "enhance their learning across the curriculum." It was also advised that the school enables "pupils to develop their study skills to the highest levels through increased opportunities to use these in their lessons."
