Hatfield Woodhouse Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 16 July 2024

The school is extremely ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabled (SEND). There is an inclusive and positive culture that supports all pupils well. Trusting and warm relationships with staff mean that pupils feel safe and happy in school. Pupils know if they have any worries or concerns, an adult is there to help them. Pupils excel in their learning. Outcomes in the Year 6 national tests and assessments in 2023 are well above average. Pupils also achieve very well across the wider curriculum, for example in geography, art and history. This means they are very well prepared for their next stage in education. Pupils behave exceptionally well. They are polite, kind and well mannered. Pupils are keen to learn. They listen and concentrate well in lessons. These strong attitudes to learning start in early years and continue across all years. The work that pupils produce demonstrates this and reflects the high expectations the school has of them. Pupils have many opportunities to develop their talents and interests. Many pupils take part in the large number of clubs and activities the school provides. Trips are well planned to help pupils deepen their understanding of their learning. For example, pupils visit the Houses of Parliament each year to understand how the country is governed and how laws are made. As a result, pupils have a strong understanding of democracy and the rule of law within British values.
