Roundwood Primary School continues to perform well, being recognized as a good school. Leaders maintain high ambitions for students and foster a caring environment that promotes personal development. The school offers a wide array of experiences beyond the classroom, contributing to student confidence and resilience. While leaders have implemented a well-structured curriculum that supports learning from early years through to Year 6, there are areas for improvement, particularly in subjects like French, music, and religious education where curriculum delivery is inconsistent. This inspection marks the school's first review since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
