What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 12 June 2024

Pupils are happy and proud to attend this welcoming, aspirational school. Burnt Oak Junior School is built on a strong culture of respect. Staff greet pupils and parents and carers warmly each morning. Pupils are courteous and respectful to each other and to adults and visitors. Leaders and staff have the highest expectations for pupils' behaviour and achievement. Pupils try their best to meet these expectations by working hard and listening carefully. Staff inspire and enthuse pupils about learning. This helps pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to achieve very highly across the curriculum. Classrooms are calm and inviting. Behaviour in lessons and around the school is excellent. Pupils show kindness towards their fellow pupils. They encourage and support each other. Pupils state that bullying is rare. They know adults will listen to them if they have any worries or concerns. Pupils are happy and kept safe in school. Pupils enjoy a wide range of experiences beyond the academic curriculum, such as an exciting offer of trips and extra-curricular clubs, including cross-country, choir and yoga. They relish the opportunities to help improve the school for others by being, for example, school councillors, library monitors and lunchtime helpers.
