What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 20 May 2025
Pupils are very proud to attend Foxhill Primary School. They are encouraged to 'be the best they can be' in everything they do. They enjoy their lessons, work hard, and take pride in their achievements. Pupils look forward to assemblies where everyone comes together to celebrate their achievements. 'Hot Chocolate Fridays' are a well-earned reward, much prized by all. Relationships between staff and pupils are warm and caring. Staff know the pupils and their families extremely well and offer valuable support and advice. Pupils are safe and happy. They know that adults will listen and help if they have any worries. The school is determined that all pupils will achieve well. Since the last inspection, the school has experienced significant changes to staffing, including leadership. The school has brought about improvements to the curriculum and how well staff teach it. These improvements, while not reflected in published outcomes in 2024, are evident in pupils' current achievements across the curriculum. Pupils are polite and respectful to each other and to staff. Disruptions to learning are extremely rare. Staff deal with them swiftly and effectively if they do happen.
What the school should improve
- On some occasions, staff do not check pupils' understanding carefully enough. As a result, gaps in learning are not identified consistently and misconceptions can go unaddressed. The school should ensure that staff check pupils' understanding accurately and address any misconceptions as they arise.
