What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 November 2023
The four key values of 'community, inclusion, ambition and mindfulness' are tangible at Grange Park Primary School. They are evident in relationships between pupils, the knowledge pupils learn in lessons and the experiences that leaders provide. Pupils are fiercely proud of their school community and enjoy attending here. They feel happy, valued and safe. Staff have the highest expectations of what pupils can achieve. Leaders have placed a strong focus on well-being and mental health. Pupils of all ages apply to be happiness heroes and help their peers who might be anxious or worried. Pupils have personal reflection journals and value using these. Pupils are taught how to manage and recognise their emotions. Leaders' determination to raise aspirations and show pupils what they could achieve in life is inspirational. The school has created a curriculum around careers that means pupils have high ambitions for their future. Through a range of additional experiences, including a careers fair and a university graduation, pupils are encouraged to aim high. The school has ensured that these aspirations for pupils' futures are underpinned by a secure and ambitious curriculum.
What the school should improve
- Curriculum thinking is more strongly developed in some subjects than others. In some subject areas, the school is still in the process of mapping out precisely what they want pupils to know. The school should ensure that the curriculum thinking for all subject areas is as robust as that in the strongest subjects.
