What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 17 May 2023

Pupils love learning at Barton Farm Primary. They are enthusiastic and excited to share what they know and can do. Staff encourage pupils to be curious about the world around them. There are no limits placed on their learning. They are supported to be resilient, proud, kind and creative. Pupils learn and play well together. Relationships with adults are nurturing, warm and friendly. Pupils feel proud when adults notice them trying hard or behaving well. They enjoy getting a 'high five' for their efforts and getting a 'Best Seat in the House' award in assembly. Pupils are happy and feel safe. They say bullying does not happen, but they know if it does adults will help them. Pupils' understanding of equality is strong. They value that people are different and therefore recognise everyone as a unique individual. Leaders think carefully about the experiences they want pupils to have. Every learning and enrichment opportunity links explicitly to a school value. Pupils are encouraged to be active. They learn inside and outside in a variety of ways through the 'explore and learn' time. Parents value the school's approach to learning and the enthusiasm this cultivates. They recognise their children are flourishing and learning exceptionally well.
