What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 18 October 2022

The conduct and behaviour of pupils at this school are superb. This is because the 'golden rules' are threaded through every aspect of school life. Every child has a voice and knows that their opinion is valued. Pupils are incredibly excited to come to school. The morning breakfast club is bustling with activity, which ranges from sports games to pupils making fruit kebabs with their parents and teachers. It is a very positive start to the day. Adults care deeply about pupils' welfare. The atmosphere in the school is highly respectful. Pupils' relationships with each other are strong and caring. This is because all adults model very respectful behaviour. This means that bullying is incredibly rare and pupils feel safe. Parents and carers know that their children receive outstanding support at this school. Many parents were eager to speak to inspectors to praise the work of teachers and leaders. Leaders' expectations of what pupils can achieve are incredibly ambitious. Many children start at Coleridge Primary School with language barriers. Leaders know this. Work with children in the early years immediately begins to ensure that all children receive a fantastic education with no limits on the curriculum they experience.
