Moorgate Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 19 April 2023

Moorgate Primary school is a place where pupils, and children in the early years, flourish. Staff have pupils' best interests at heart. To this end, they have fostered mutually supportive relationships with families. Staff know pupils and their families well. Pupils told the inspector that this helps them to feel very happy and safe in school. Pupils feel that they are well cared for by their teachers. The school's motto is 'aspire, achieve, sparkle', and this is embodied in the high expectations for both the academic and social skills that pupils develop at the school. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those who are disadvantaged, achieve exceptionally well across the curriculum. This is reflected in how well pupils are prepared for the next stage in their education. Pupils, including those pupils who attend the specially resourced provision for pupils with SEND (specially resourced provision), behave well and they are thoughtful of others. Any incidents of unacceptable behaviour are dealt with effectively and sensitively by leaders. This includes any rare occurrences of bullying. Classrooms, including in the early years, are hives of learning activity. Pupils enjoy learning and they contribute enthusiastically during lessons. Pupils learn about a range of important issues through the wider curriculum. Leaders ensure that pupils benefit from a broad range of opportunities to enrich their learning. For example, pupils relish learning alongside members of the wider community in the intergenerational gardening club, the community library and through the school's citizenship award.
