What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 November 2024
The school's vision of 'enriching lives, unleashing possibilities and building futures' is fully realised. Oakhill Primary School may be small, but it has a big school mindset. Pupils benefit from a curriculum that is highly developed, exciting and engaging. Pupils thrive, enjoy their learning, and attend very well. They feel very safe and behave extremely well, demonstrating strong resilience and commitment to their learning. As a result, pupils achieve very highly. Children in Reception also achieve very well. Pupils' personal development is of exceptional quality. By Year 6, pupils are confident, mature individuals who are curious, knowledgeable and well-equipped to function effectively in society. Pupils take on significant leadership roles such as prefects, play leaders, eco-warriors and lunch leaders. They enjoy attending very well-considered trips and residential visits, using their experiences to enrich their learning. This contributes to the high quality of work and the development of strong evaluative skills. Pupils also attend a very wide range of clubs, including football, badminton, drama, and board games. The choir rehearse songs with great passion and accuracy. Pupils in the dance club demonstrate high levels of commitment and enthusiasm.
