Aldersbrook Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 3 December 2024

This is a school where pupils learn to be curious and confident. Pupils flourish here because they benefit from a nurturing environment. This helps pupils to feel happy. Pupils are confident in explaining the use of the class 'chatterboxes'. They know that staff will quickly address any worries they may have. Pupils' behaviour across the school is exemplary. This is because the school instils the importance of being 'ready' and 'respectful'. Pupils collaborate extremely well with their peers. In the early years, routines are firmly established. Children follow these routines to independently select the resources they will need to be successful in their learning. There is an expectation across the school that all pupils will achieve highly. Pupils work hard to reach these expectations. Provisional end of year outcomes for Year 6 in 2024 confirm that a high proportion of pupils reached the expected standards in reading, writing and mathematics. Pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education. Pupils play an important role in supporting the school's respectful environment. Older pupils take pride in looking after younger pupils. For instance, play leaders look out for pupils who might need someone to play with. These roles give pupils opportunities to practise the school's values.
