What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 30 January 2024
Jessop Primary School is a welcoming and caring community where pupils are happy, safe and thrive. All pupils benefit from the nurturing approach to their education and development, founded on strong relationships. Pupils play an important part in shaping their school through the many opportunities provided for them to lead and be active citizens. The curriculum is meticulously designed and ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). This ensures that pupils are fully engaged in their learning and motivated to achieve well. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary and shines through in the positive and respectful interactions they have with their peers and staff. This is because the school sets consistently high expectations, from early years onwards, that pupils are eager to meet. Pupils learn the importance of kindness and curiosity. As such, pupils enjoy coming to school each day, and their attendance is high. The extensive range of wider experiences is carefully planned to enhance pupils' learning and encourage pupils to be ambitious about their futures. Talents are quickly identified and nurtured so that the unique strengths of pupils are celebrated. Pupils are keen to explore new possibilities, and no pupil misses out.
