Bishop Road Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 7 November 2023

Bishop Road Primary is a school where pupils flourish. The quality of education pupils receive is exceptional. Pupils love to learn. They are excited to talk about their learning and share their ideas. The school values of 'aspire, accept, appreciate and contribute' are lived out through the day-to-day interactions between all adults and pupils. As a result, pupils progress extremely well through the curriculum. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. From the moment children start in Reception, routines are well established. Pupils consistently meet the high expectations adults have of them. Pupils move safely and sensibly around the school. The school is a calm and purposeful place to learn. Pupils are supportive and caring. They are fully inclusive of one another and celebrate difference. Pupils are highly tolerant of those with different needs. This means that playtimes and lunchtimes are harmonious. Pupils value the warm relationships they have with adults. They know that adults will help them if they have any worries. This means pupils feel safe. Pupils participate in a wide range of experiences throughout their time at school. The whole school study projects develop pupils' knowledge beyond the curriculum. For example, a visit to Slimbridge Wetland Centre enhanced the ornithology project.
