What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 February 2025
Holbrook Primary school is a welcoming, inclusive school at the heart of the diverse community it serves. The school creates a nurturing environment where pupils are encouraged to 'work together to be the BEST'. Pupils live up to these high expectations. A broad curriculum prepares pupils well for life in Coventry and beyond. A range of enrichment opportunities deepen pupils' understanding of themselves, each other and the world. This includes, for example, whole school theatre trips and extensive pupil leadership roles. After school clubs, such as weaving and 'surprise club', help pupils to develop new interests. Relationships in the school are rooted in mutual respect. The school ensures that every pupil feels valued and supported. Pupils say that everyone in the 'Holbrook family' is treated fairly and equally. 'Language ambassadors' help new pupils to settle quickly. Members of the school council have a voice in school improvement, for example by making positive changes to lunchtimes and fundraising for a 'buddy bench'. Pupils benefit from strong pastoral support and appreciate strategies, such as, the 'worry monster' and pupil mental health ambassadors. Skilled learning mentors provide personalised support for pupils. As a result, pupils behave well, feel safe and show kindness towards one another.
What the school should improve
- There are too few high-quality opportunities for pupils to develop their writing across the curriculum. As a result, some pupils do not always produce writing which reflects and extends their writing ability well enough, and which demonstrates their depth of subject knowledge. The school should ensure that there are regular opportunities for pupils to practise, extend, and develop their writing across the whole curriculum so that all pupils consistently develop their writing ability.
