Masefield Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 11 July 2024

Pupils flourish at this happy and welcoming school. They are extremely well motivated to make the most of the wide range of opportunities on offer to them. The school is highly ambitious for all pupils' academic achievement. Pupils achieve exceptionally well, despite their differing starting points. This is particularly true for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are proud of the impressive array of knowledge that they develop over time. They put this knowledge to effective use across the curriculum. Children begin to develop confidence and resilience in the early years. As a result, pupils embrace new experiences without trepidation as they progress through the school. They know that staff will help them to overcome difficulties if they arise. Pupils are keen to embrace the 'Masefield Way'. Their behaviour at breaktimes and as they move around the school is exemplary. Pupils focus well during lessons, rarely needing to be reminded by staff. Pupils particularly enjoy accessing the school's outdoor areas where they learn a variety of bushcraft skills. They also learn how to grow produce and to look after the school's rabbits and chickens. At breaktimes, pupils value having time to read, play with friends, exercise, or engage in mindfulness activities.
