Huish Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 10 January 2023

Leaders have the highest ambitions for their pupils. They ensure that pupils, regardless of their background, achieve well at Huish. It is a highly inclusive environment where pupils feel safe. Pupils flourish from the moment they start school. They say that everyone is welcome at the school. For example, pupils look after those who join from other countries. Staff expect pupils to do their very best in everything they do. Pupils rise to this. Their behaviour in classrooms and around the school site is exemplary. Pupils display kindness and politeness to one another. Bullying is extremely rare. Pupils demonstrate exceptionally positive attitudes to learning. As a result, classrooms are a hive of purposeful learning. Pupils have a wealth of experiences beyond the academic curriculum. Leaders check that there is range of cross-curricular activities for pupils to pursue their interests and talents. This includes disadvantaged pupils and those with special education needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff carefully plan trips, such as visits to a mosque or a local museum, to deepen pupils' knowledge further. Parents' views on the school are highly positive. Comments such as 'could not recommend the school enough' and 'an all-round excellent school' summed up the views of many.
