Elvetham Heath Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 10 January 2023

'If there's one thing this school has taught me, it's to take every opportunity with both hands.' This view of a Year 6 pupil captures what the school achieves for its pupils. From the youngest years, pupils develop their character and community values. The school's core virtues of respect, responsibility, perseverance, honesty and kindness are evident everywhere in pupils' conduct and attitudes. Pupils experience an excellent curriculum. Because of this, pupils have high levels of engagement in lessons and any disruption is very rare. They play extremely well together, creating a very happy atmosphere. Every pupil has a role to play in making the school community cohesive. Older pupils support younger pupils and are valued role models. Pupils lead on aspects such as 'Young Governors', 'Peer Mentors', 'Character Champions', 'French Ambassadors' and 'New Arrival Buddies'. Pupils access high-quality pastoral support, and they can raise any concerns through 'Worry Monster' boxes. Pupils appreciate the very effective advice, care and guidance adults give them. Parents agree overwhelmingly that the pupils have an exceptional school to attend. One said, reflecting the view of many, 'I can't praise the school enough, and we feel so extremely lucky to have found such an amazing fully inclusive school.'
