South Bank Community Primary School is an inclusive and welcoming environment where pupils are happy and engaged in their learning. While the school has some strengths, such as good behaviour and positive personal development, it is rated as 'Requires Improvement' overall due to inconsistencies in the quality of education provided. Changes to the curriculum are ongoing, but some areas, particularly reading, have yet to fully develop and reflect the school's expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
