Worth Primary School is currently on an improvement journey, having not been inspected under the current framework previously due to its status as an academy and an extended gap since its last graded inspection. The school demonstrates a caring environment where pupils feel happy and supported. While the school exhibits strengths in personal development and some areas of the curriculum, overall effectiveness is rated as requiring improvement due to gaps in curriculum design and execution, particularly in many subjects which hinder pupils from achieving their best potential.
