What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 20 January 2026

Pupils feel that they belong at Nonsuch Primary. They come to school and enjoy the routines and structure that are provided. Pupils feel safe and well cared for within and around the school. They benefit from the wide range of pastoral support on offer, and this enables them to access the curriculum and learn. The school has high ambition for pupils. Most pupils arrive on time and attend well. They enjoy coming to breakfast club. Staff make sure that they get to know pupils quickly. This ensures that pupils’ specific needs are well understood and met. Pupils who are disadvantaged, or those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, get the support they need. Relationships between staff, pupils and families are positive. The school’s values of compassion, aspiration, commitment, self-awareness, resilience and integrity underpin all learning. Pupils develop as caring members of the school community. Most older pupils act as thoughtful role models for younger pupils. Pupils explain that bullying is rare in any form, but that whenever it does happen, teachers are quick to help pupils resolve any issues. Pupils are generally well prepared for life in modern Britain through sensitive discussions about growing older and focused transition to the next stages of their education. Pupils generally behave well. In lessons, pupils listen attentively to their teachers. They enjoy their lessons. Generally, pupils progress well from their starting points and are ready for their next steps. However, some pupils do not remember what they have been taught and do not achieve as well as they could. Leaders are aware of this and have put actions in place to address this. These actions are beginning to have a positive impact.

What the school should improve

  • The school should ensure that effective teaching strategies are implemented consistently well so that pupils know more and remember more. • The school should ensure that leaders at all levels are provided with opportunities to collaborate in school improvement.
