Mattishall Primary School has improved significantly since its previous inspection, achieving a 'Good' rating across all domains. The school environment is positive, with pupils expressing pride in their school and feeling supported by staff. A well-structured curriculum is notable for its ambition, particularly in mathematics and reading, leading to improved pupil outcomes. However, some foundation subjects require further development to ensure a consistent delivery of the curriculum and to secure pupils' knowledge across all areas. While the school's strengths include effective early reading strategies and a supportive atmosphere, there are concerns regarding writing standards in foundation subjects. The school is addressing these areas but must ensure that the high expectations set in core subjects are matched in all areas of learning. Overall, the leadership team is clearly committed to continuous improvement.
