Maybury Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 27 June 2023

Leaders' expectations and aspirations for pupils are high. Pupils respond well to these expectations and learn well. The school's vision, 'believe, succeed, achieve', permeates all aspects of school life. The curriculum motivates pupils to give their best and think of others. Pupils learn about inspirational people and celebrate diversity. A recent anti-racism workshop helped pupils to understand tolerance and difference well. Behaviour in classrooms, around the school and in the playground is excellent. Low- level disruption is very rare. Pupils understand the school values, such as resilience, positivity and kindness, well. They do their very best to show them in their school life. They love learning how to look after Max and Bob, the school guinea pigs. Pupils are kind and respectful to adults and each other. Leaders investigate the very rare bullying claims meticulously. Pupils say that staff listen to them. Staff take concerns seriously. Pupils feel safe in school. Pupils flourish here. They adore their school and enjoy the various clubs on offer, such as cricket and photography. Maybury Primary is at the heart of the community. Parents and carers appreciate the community spirit that leaders promote successfully.

What the school should improve

• In a few subjects, changes to the curriculum are still fairly early in their development. Leaders do not fully know how well pupils are learning in these subjects and pupils have some gaps in their subject knowledge. This means that some pupils do not achieve as well as they could. Leaders should continue to implement their ambitious curriculum plans and monitor their impact over time, so that all pupils achieve highly across the whole curriculum.
