What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 October 2023
This is a well-led school where pupils are full of enthusiasm for their learning. This enjoyment is evident across the curriculum. For example, one pupil said, 'Computing is great - we figure things out together.' The school provides pupils with a rich set of opportunities to develop their talents. Many pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), attend a wide range of clubs. These include Glee club, coding, roller skating and gardening. Pupils help and care for each other. They take on responsibilities as well-being councillors, sports leaders and foundation buddies. The school has high expectations of pupils' work and behaviour. Friendly and well- mannered, pupils' behaviour is exemplary. In the playground, arguments are rare. In lessons, pupils focus on their work and pay careful attention to their teachers. Pupils feel safe and happy. They are confident that staff will always be on hand to help. As one pupil said, 'Every teacher is kind. You know that you can trust them.' Parents have full confidence in the school. One parent, whose comment was typical of many, said, 'Our child has had the most wonderful primary school experience at Abbey Road. We feel so lucky to be part of the community there.'
What the school should improve
- Some activities are not adapted well enough to meet the needs of some pupils with SEND. As a result, these pupils do not always build their knowledge as securely as they could. The school should ensure that staff understand how to provide the support that each pupil with SEND needs, to help them achieve the best possible outcomes.
