Park Road Sale Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 5 March 2024

Pupils thrive and feel happy at this exceptional school. Relationships between adults and pupils are remarkably strong and respectful. Pupils are proud of their school, particularly the wider opportunities that it offers. For example, older pupils spoke in detail about their outdoor learning. The school is highly ambitious for pupils to succeed, including disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are curious and keen learners. They have a strong appetite to improve their knowledge. Pupils achieve exceptionally well. They are superbly prepared for the next stage of their learning. Pupils' behaviour is excellent. In the early years, children settle quickly into school routines and rules. Older pupils enjoy working and playing alongside younger pupils, acting as great role models. Classrooms are calm and purposeful. As pupils move through school, they learn to be confident and articulate when expressing their thoughts and views. Pupils benefit from the impressive and wide-ranging experiences that enrich their personal development. They revel in their many responsibilities, for example as reading ambassadors, play leaders and school councillors. A rich variety of visits and after-school activities enhances their learning across the curriculum. For example, Year 2 pupils were very keen to share their learning from a visit to a local zoo which took place during the inspection.
