Orrell Newfold Community Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 5 June 2024

Pupils enjoy school and they benefit greatly from all that it has to offer. They develop their individual talents and interests remarkably well. For example, most pupils attend an extra-curricular club, such as boot camp, cookery or cross-country running. Older pupils take part in memorable residential trips, including to outdoor activity centres and places of cultural significance. The school has unstintingly high expectations for pupils' achievement. This includes for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils develop a rich body of knowledge across a broad range of subjects. They achieve exceptionally well, particularly in English and mathematics. Children in the early years settle into school routines with astonishing ease. They display a maturity that belies their years. Across the school, pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They listen with rapt attention in lessons and persevere with a task until they get it right. Pupils know that their opinions matter and that they can play an active role in making the school even better. They develop an exceptional understanding of their environmental responsibilities. Pupils take positive action to look after the environment, including through taking part in community litter-picks and gardening events. Pupils leave the school as well-rounded and responsible young people ready to make their mark in their next schools and beyond.
