Ladybrook Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 23 July 2024

Pupils describe their school as a remarkable place where everyone is welcome. They are proud and happy to be part of such a unique and special community where differences between people are nurtured and celebrated. Pupils' attitudes to work embody the school's strapline, 'learning without limits'. They frequently exceed the high expectations that staff have for their academic and personal success. Pupils proudly show their learning in different ways. For example, older pupils enjoyed creating their own books to showcase the rich body of knowledge that they have gained across the curriculum. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary in lessons and at playtimes. Lessons are calm, and time shared together at playtimes is both fun and special. Pupils play a highly active role in making their school the best it can be. For example, pupils contribute to the design of central spaces such as the library and sanctuary area. Children in the Nursery class also help new children by sharing their favourite memories with them before they start school. Pupils across all ages take on various leadership roles such as reading buddies and school councillors. They also show a deep sense of social responsibility in different ways, such as by supporting local charities through various fundraising activities.
