Offord Primary School has made significant strides since its establishment as an academy in 2019, achieving a 'Good' overall effectiveness rating in this first inspection. The school promotes a happy and respectful environment where pupils excel in their personal development, which is recognized as outstanding. Pupils show strong progress, particularly in writing and mathematics. However, there are some concerns regarding variability in writing quality in the lower school, which affects older pupils' ability to develop their writing skills effectively. The leadership structure, supported by The Cam Academy Trust, has proven to be beneficial in developing the curriculum and providing resources for staff.
