Nine Acres Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 10 July 2024

Pupils blossom at Nine Acres. They are inspired and enthusiastic learners. They thrive in this exceptional school where disadvantaged pupils flourish. The ambitious curriculum is intertwined with an extensive personal development offer. The school's aspirational values underpin everything. The school expects its pupils to be 'articulate', 'passionate', 'persuasive' and 'positively influencing the world around us'. Pupils unquestionably rise to meet these high expectations. They are keen to explain the ways that they uphold these values in how they act and speak. The school wants all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to excel. As a result, pupils develop a rich body of knowledge across the full range of subjects. The unique transition programme in July each year is well established. It prepares pupils excellently in all year groups to hit the ground running in September. The school's offer goes far beyond the academic. Everyone is 'striving for excellence' in all areas of school life. Across the school, pupils' behaviour is exemplary. Pupils' wider development is at the heart of the curriculum. There are rich opportunities, both inside and outside of the classroom, for pupils to grow their personal skills, including in leadership, and cultural capital.
