What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 12 November 2024

This is an inclusive and nurturing school for pupils to attend. It is ambitious for pupils to succeed, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils in the resourced provision are fully involved in every aspect of school life. Pupils achieve well by the time they move on to secondary school. Pupils strive to live out the school's values by being ready, responsible and respectful. These help to shape pupils' positive relationships with each other and with staff. The school is calm and orderly. Pupils are polite and behave well in lessons and at breaktimes. They are happy and are kept safe in school. Pupils are confident that staff will sort things out quickly if they raise any concerns. Pupils value their leadership roles, including as reading and mathematics ambassadors and house captains. The school makes full use of the local area with visits to Gunnersbury Park and the adjacent Ruislip Woods. Older pupils look forward to residential trips to Dorset. They also visit different places of worship, including local churches, synagogues and the Mandir in Neasden. Parents and carers speak highly of the school and its role in the community.

What the school should improve

  • Some subject leaders are new to their roles. They do not yet have a clear enough oversight of their subject. The school needs to ensure that subject leaders are well trained to be able to lead, monitor and embed their areas of responsibility effectively, so that pupils can achieve well across all subjects.
  • Rates of persistent absence for pupils, including those with SEND, continue to be high. This means pupils miss out on important learning. The school should strengthen its work with parents and carers to improve attendance and reduce persistent absence so that all pupils attend school regularly.
