Foxfield Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 18 July 2023

Foxfield gives pupils an experience that goes well beyond the ordinary. It sets the highest academic and personal standards, with a clear focus on helping pupils to become thoughtful, independent young people. Pupils are highly respectful of others, and their behaviour is impeccable. They know that behaving well is more than just obeying the rules but also about adhering to important values, such as tolerance and open-mindedness. This is amply illustrated by pupils, who comment that they 'don't look at the person' but 'at their hearts'. Pupils report that bullying is rare. They are confident that their teachers will deal with any problems effectively, and they do. Pupils comment that they feel safe in school. Leaders ensure that they are kept safe. One of the school's many strengths is the understated way that pupils' academic and personal excellence is promoted. Leaders and teachers understand that everything they do is about giving all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), the best education possible. The curriculum is highly ambitious. It encompasses a broad range of experiences and a depth of learning that prepare pupils extremely well for their secondary education. Another strength is that everyone works together to achieve excellence for pupils. This is what makes the school so successful.
