What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 July 2025
Pupils at Edleston Primary School are happy and excited to learn. The school is a friendly and welcoming place, where pupils celebrate the diverse cultures that co-exist in their community. Pupils are proud to be anti-bullying ambassadors, school councillors and sports leaders. These roles help them feel empowered. Pupils play their part in important decision-making and use their voice to suggest changes. For example, improving the lunch menu. The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement. Pupils leave school well prepared for the next stage of their education. They model the school's values of consideration, aspiration, responsibility and enjoyment. These values start in the Reception class, where children quickly settle into well-established routines. Pupils enjoy positive relationships with caring staff. They are confident that adults will help them if they have a worry or concern. This helps them to feel safe. Pupils enjoy many opportunities to develop their talents and interests. They showcase their skills in music, drama and dance performances for their families. Pupils attend the various after-school-clubs, such as yoga, sewing and gardening. They learn about inspirational people from the past and have a secure understanding of different faiths. This helps to prepare them for life in modern Britain.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the school has not addressed gaps in pupils' previous knowledge effectively enough. As a result, pupils do not learn as well as they could. The school should ensure that any historical gaps in pupils' knowledge are swiftly remedied, so that pupils have a secure foundation on which to build new learning and achieve as well as they could.
- The school does not support pupils effectively enough to develop a strong love of reading. This limits pupils' knowledge of authors and books they read. The school should promote a culture of reading to develop pupils' interest and enjoyment in literature, reading and poetry.
