What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 1 October 2024

Heymann Primary and Nursery School opens its doors wide to welcome all pupils. Every pupil in this school is known exceptionally well. Pupils, staff and parents describe the school as, 'the Heymann family.' Relationships between staff and pupils are built on kindness and respect. Adults model these attributes exceptionally well. In turn, pupils are keen to help each other. Older pupils are appointed as 'peer mentors.' They keep a close eye on the well-being of others and are on hand at social times to offer support. Pupils are enthusiastic learners. They work hard and do not give up if learning becomes challenging. Leaders have high expectations for all pupils. Pupils are well prepared to move to the next stage in their education. By the time pupils leave the school in Year 6 they achieve highly. From the early years, children are polite and considerate of one another. Across the school, pupils keep the school rules and strive to earn a 'purple token.' Their exemplary behaviour makes a significant contribution to the school's calm and purposeful learning environment. Parents and carers hold the school in high regard. They praise the approachable staff who go 'above and beyond' to keep their children safe and make every school day count.

What the school should improve

  • Some of the schools' monitoring activities are not fully effective. Leaders do not consistently draw together the information gathered as a result of monitoring activities to identify areas for further development. The school should ensure that those monitoring the work of the school gather a range of evidence which is then co- ordinated, to fully inform the actions the school needs to take to further improve.
