Bevois Town Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 27 February 2024

Pupils are truly encouraged to 'smile, sparkle and shine' at this school. They have every opportunity to do their very best. The school's high ambition for all pupils to learn detailed knowledge and skills is evident from the very moment they join the school. Many pupils speak English as an additional language. The school is meticulous in supporting these pupils to learn. All pupils rise to adults' high expectations. Pupils work hard, show resilience and determination and achieve exceptionally well. Pupils benefit from a wide range of opportunities that enrich their education. Specialist workshops develop pupils' broader knowledge. Most recently, these have included an orchestral workshop led by university students and a session about stopping racism. Pupils' learning is also enhanced through carefully considered visits to places such as an ancient farm, different places of worship and to local museums. Pupils act with high levels of respect towards each other and towards adults. Pupils listen to one another with maturity when discussing their ideas. In conversations they build on each other's comments and readily consider differing viewpoints. Pupils value diversity. They are rightly proud of how their school welcomes people from many cultures.
