What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 June 2025
Children are happy to attend Billesdon Church of England Primary School. They trust the caring staff to keep them safe. The school is calm and orderly. During social times, pupils play together enthusiastically in the well-equipped and spacious outdoor area. The school has high expectations for how pupils should behave and what they can achieve. This begins in the early years where children learn the school routines quickly. Pupils try hard in lessons and achieve well. Those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well supported to be independent and successful. The school promotes pupils' wider personal development well. Pupils are guided by the school's values to be kind, respectful and tolerant. They understand diversity and enjoy learning about different faiths and cultures. Pupils gain leadership experience by serving on the school council or by being a house captain. A variety of trips, including residential visits, provide them with memorable experiences. The school provides a wealth of opportunities to develop pupils' sporting and musical talents. This includes a range of clubs and participation in local sports events and competitions. All pupils can learn to play a musical instrument or be part of the school choir.
What the school should improve
- At times, in some foundation subjects, learning activities are not focused sufficiently well on the important knowledge that pupils need to learn. This means that pupils' learning in these subjects is less secure than in other subjects. The school should ensure that the curriculum is delivered consistently well so that pupils learn and remember the important knowledge in every subject.
- The school does not place a high-enough priority on teaching pupils about the fundamental British values or the protected characteristics. As a result, pupils' understanding of these important topics lacks depth and understanding. The school should ensure that it places sufficient emphasis on ensuring that pupils fully appreciate these different aspects.
