What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 30 April 2024
Pupils at Heronswood Primary School are expected to do their very best and live by the school's 'STARS values' of sharing, trust, achievement, respect and safety each day. The school sets very clear expectations for pupils' behaviour and attendance. Pupils attend regularly and feel safe at school. Pupils are respectful of staff and one another. Classrooms are hardworking places where pupils work hard and achieve well. 'Zone boards' help pupils to take ownership of their behaviour in school. Staff apply the school rules with fairness and consistency. Any pupil who needs it, gets high-quality support to behave well. Pupils enjoy competing in a range of activities, like the bell boating regatta and a choir event. There is strong uptake of the wide range of clubs that are available to pupils. These include art, gymnastics, drawing, mindfulness, forest school and board games. The exciting annual box car rally and the lever and Lego workshops help pupils to develop science, technology, engineering and mathematical knowledge and skills (STEM). All this helps pupils to broaden their horizons and develop new talents and interests. Pupils apply for and take on responsibilities such as school councillors, head boy or girl, sustainability leaders and digital leaders. This helps pupils to develop teamwork, negotiation and interview skills.
