Osborne Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 20 February 2024

Pupils do very well at Osborne Primary because staff put their needs and interests first. Every member of staff genuinely cares for each individual pupil. This helps them to feel safe in school. The school expects each pupil to be the very best they can be. They have high ambitions for everyone. The new curriculum is having a positive impact and is now helping pupils to achieve staff's high ambitions through exciting and engaging learning. The school's values of fairness, respect, forgiveness, courage, persistence and self- control are evident in all that pupils do. The mutual respect between adults and pupils is clear to see. Pupils feel listened to. They say, 'Our voices are heard; we are known and recognised.' Staff model the behaviour they expect from pupils. Pupils rise to these expectations impressively. They behave well at all points of the day and are polite and well mannered. They understand that some pupils find it difficult to manage their own behaviour. The school's strong focus on helping pupils overcome these difficulties is of a high quality. This means pupils' learning is rarely disrupted. School leaders have created a calm environment both in lessons and during social times. It is a harmonious and happy place to be.

What the school should improve

• Leaders have developed an effective curriculum, but this has only recently been introduced. As a result, some pupils still have gaps in their knowledge across a range of subjects. Leaders should continue their successful work to implement the revised curriculum to enable pupils to continue the rapid progress they are now making.
