What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 11 February 2025

Knollmead Primary School provides an exceptional education for all its pupils. Inclusion and ambition are central to its ethos, and promoted by everyone in this close-knit community. The school's curriculum is rich and ambitious. The provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is exemplary, including in the well- regarded specially resourced provisions for pupils with SEND. Pupils are proud to attend their school. Staff form very strong relationships with pupils and give them a distinct voice in school life. There is a sharp focus on discussion in lessons. This means pupils develop confidence and can talk about their learning and how it connects to what they have learned before. Pupils make exceptional progress through the curriculum, from the early years to the end of Year 6. The school's published outcomes in reading and mathematics are particularly high for pupils who attain at greater depth. Pupils are very well supported by the school to develop more widely. They feel happy and safe. Staff encourage pupils to be responsible and caring citizens. For example, pupils can support elderly people in the local area or take on positions of responsibility in school, such as organising lunchtime clubs for younger pupils.
