What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 January 2025
Eversley Primary School fosters a nurturing and inclusive community. Pupils thrive, personally and academically. Eversley's values, 'be kind, be brave, be the best you can be', are embedded in its culture. Pupils live up to these values and are proud to be part of the school. There are high expectations for behaviour. Pupils appreciate the calm, orderly environment. They follow routines, are warm and welcoming to visitors, and demonstrate respect towards peers and adults. The school is ambitious for its pupils. It sets high expectations for pupils' achievement, including for those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and disadvantaged pupils. The school works hard to ensure that pupils from early years to Year 6 achieve their best in a supportive and aspirational environment. Pupils engage positively in their learning as they progress through the curriculum. Pupils participate in and enjoy a wide range of well-planned enrichment activities and character-building experiences, described by the school as the 'Eversley Endeavours'. These include many interesting and developmental clubs, such as the pantomime club, Lego club, musical theatre and several successful sports teams.
What the school should improve
- In some instances, staff do not provide precise enough guidance for pupils about how to develop their learning and address misconceptions consistently. This sometimes limits pupils' ability to develop deeper knowledge and understanding. In reading, this impacts on the development of pupils' fluency and comprehension skills. The school should ensure that staff are skilled in identifying pupils' misconceptions and next steps, so that pupils can deepen their knowledge and understanding and meet the school's ambitious aims for their achievements even more.
