Kea Community Primary School continues to perform well, maintaining its status as a good school since its last inspection. The recently appointed headteacher and deputy headteacher have worked collaboratively to enhance the school environment and curriculum. Pupils feel included, learn effectively, and have opportunities to develop independence and leadership skills. The curriculum is gradually improving, helping pupils to excel particularly in reading, while also preparing them well for secondary education. However, the school recognizes that consistency across all subjects and the effective use of assessment needs further development to reach the full potential of its pupils.
