What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 November 2024
'By the good deeds that you do, you will be remembered in the stars for eternity.' This ambitious motto forms the beating heart of Ling Moor Primary Academy. The school provides a top-quality education that goes hand in hand with preparing pupils exceedingly well for life beyond the school. Pupils are expected to become respectful, empathetic and well-rounded individuals who achieve highly. This expectation is achieved. The school's description of the 'Ling Moor Family' is tangible. The school is one big, happy learning community. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They are eager to do the right things because, as the school teaches them, 'It is the right thing to do.' Pupils understand the school's approach to 'serious fun'. As one pupil explained, 'We have fun, but we're very serious about our learning.' The school's values of wisdom, curiosity, courage and passion permeate all aspects of school life. Pupils strive to live out these values every day. Older pupils wear their 'Priory Badges' with pride, showing that they consistently exemplify these values. The school parliament, ably led by the elected prime minister and their deputy, represents pupils' views. It makes an important contribution to all aspects of school life. For example, pupils who act as parliamentarians play a central role in evaluating the quality of education.
