Holt Community Primary School has maintained its overall judgement of good during this ungraded inspection. While the school is described as a happy and safe place where pupils are generally well-behaved and engage in diverse experiences, concerns were raised about the consistency of teaching quality across subjects and year groups. High expectations were found to be lacking in certain areas, which may affect pupils' academic performance if a graded inspection were to occur.
