What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 4 May 2023

Pupils thrive at Lakelands Primary. The school has the highest aspirations for every pupil. From the start, all pupils enjoy a rich curriculum that inspires them to learn. Pupils talk eagerly about their learning, such as the recent virtual exploration of the International Space Station in computing. All pupils make strong progress from their starting points. Pupils have formed a happy, respectful community. They love breaktimes with their friends. They make good use of the school's many facilities, such as bicycles and the spacious all-weather court. Relationships between staff and pupils are kind and caring. Pupils conduct themselves respectfully throughout the school day. Bullying is rare. Staff deal with any issues effectively and sensitively. Pupils feel safe at school. Pupils learn important values, such as how to be kind and look after nature. They encounter a wide range of books, which reflect their own lives as well as finding out about those who are different from them. This helps pupils to feel that they belong, while respecting each other's differences. Pupils enjoy taking part in the many well- planned opportunities outside lessons. These include clubs, such as art history, and working with a visiting specialist in art.
