Oakridge Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 1 October 2024

This school is a truly special place. Pupils thrive here. They gain a deep knowledge of the things they are taught and use ambitious vocabulary with confidence. They quickly develop into resilient, reflective and resourceful young people who are ready to take on the challenges of lifelong learning. Leaders are proud of their work, and rightly so. Leaders have nurtured a tangible culture of kindness and care here. This is at the core of the school's work. Staff are proud to be the roots that support the growth of everyone involved in the Oakridge family. Pupils' benefit greatly from this. They build strong lasting relationships with their peers and know who to speak to if they have a concern. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They strive to embody the school's values in all they do. Within lessons they are eager to make the most of every moment available. Children in the early years quickly learn the routines expected of them and make strong progress. The passion that pupils have for their learning is impressive. Pupils benefit from an extensive range of carefully thought-out opportunities to enhance their wider personal development. For example, pupils often drive charity fundraising events for those less fortunate than themselves. Pupils quickly develop a deep understanding of their own social and moral responsibility.
