What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 June 2025
The school has high expectations of what pupils can accomplish. All that the school does is underpinned by its vision for all pupils to 'grow, learn and achieve'. Most pupils progress well through the curriculum. They enjoy attending school and feel well supported by teachers. Pupils feel safe in school. They know they can speak with staff if they have any concerns. Pupils understand the 'Northfield Way' of 'marvellous manners, sensible sitting, wonderful walking and best behaviour'. They are proud to be rewarded for meeting these expectations. As a result, most pupils behave well. Children in the early years learn in a nurturing environment. At playtime and lunchtime, pupils socialise well together. There are respectful relationships between staff and pupils. The school offers various opportunities for pupils to develop their talents and interests. For example, pupils enjoy attending football, chess club, gymnastics and choir. The school also enriches the curriculum through themed weeks. Pupils enjoy taking part in 'sports week' and 'science week'. They also enjoy taking part in 'GLOW (go learning outdoors in your wellies) days' and nature-based learning. Pupils are proud to be part of the pupil parliament and to be classroom monitors.
What the school should improve
- The school currently provides limited opportunities for pupils to understand what it means to be active citizens. As a result, some pupils are unable to engage with meaningful experiences that develop their understanding of how to contribute positively to society. The school should ensure that pupils have access to a broad range of opportunities that helps them understand how to become responsible citizens who contribute positively to society.
