Davies Lane Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 18 June 2024

Davies Lane is a welcoming and inclusive community where pupils feel secure and are kept safe. Pupils feel valued and enjoy coming to school. Staff know pupils well and have very high expectations for them. The school and trust provide an ambitious curriculum for all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They learn a broad range of subjects in line with what is expected nationally. Pupils work hard and achieve highly, including in national assessments. Pupils' behaviour is excellent. This begins in early years where children learn to cooperate and take turns, enjoying the range of activities available to them. There is a strong focus on encouraging pupils' kindness, independence and responsibility. Across the school, pupils consistently demonstrate these qualities. Teachers build strong relationships with pupils, which allows them to thrive. Bullying is rare and pupils know who to speak with if they have any concerns. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the support their children receive at the school. Pupils benefit from an extensive range of extra-curricular opportunities. These include eco-warriors, contemporary dance and a wide range of sporting clubs. Pupils enjoy taking up responsibilities, such as playground advocates and learning ambassadors.
