Paradise Primary School is performing well overall, achieving a good quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. Pupils enjoy attending school and benefit from a broad and ambitious curriculum that incorporates British values and Islamic teachings, helping them prepare for life in modern Britain. The school has established positive relationships with parents and provides effective support for students, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). However, there are some challenges in ensuring tasks are appropriately matched to all pupils' needs, particularly in writing skills and formative assessment practices.
