Kempsey Primary School has been rated as good overall in its first inspection since becoming an academy. The school fosters a positive and happy environment for its pupils, who enjoy their lessons and extracurricular activities. There is a strong emphasis on high standards of behavior and an inclusive culture that encourages respect for diversity. While the leadership has successfully implemented improvements in key areas such as mathematics and reading, challenges remain, particularly in ensuring consistent outcomes across all subjects and addressing previous dips in performance in reading, writing, and mathematics for Year 6 pupils in 2019.
