What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 March 2025
Pupils are extremely polite, friendly and welcoming at Arthur Bugler Primary School. They are proud of their school and delight in showing it off to visitors. Pupils have a love of learning and highly positive attitudes to school life. In classrooms and around the school, pupils conduct themselves well. The atmosphere is calm. Pupils play an active role in promoting positive behaviour. For example, in the dining room, Year 5 pupils act as lunch-time helpers. Year 6 pupils hand out reward points in recognition of good manners. Adults have high expectations of pupils' achievements. The school is very inclusive. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are encouraged to aim high, regardless of any barriers to learning they face. Pupils work hard and achieve well overall. A wide range of opportunities extends pupils' learning beyond the curriculum. Pupils connect with their community by singing at a nearby care home, visiting the mayor's office and fundraising for the local foodbank. The school's summer festival provides a platform for pupils to showcase their musical talents. Budding writers enjoy success in an annual national writing competition. A lucky few travelled to Buckingham Palace for last year's final.
What the school should improve
- Occasionally, teachers' checks on pupils learning are not as effective as they could be. This means that some pupils' gaps or misconceptions go undetected and persist. This slows some pupils' progress. The school and trust should ensure they support teachers to use assessment as effectively as possible to address gaps and misconceptions, and to help pupils learn as well as they can.
