Pendle View Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 28 November 2023

Pupils receive a warm welcome from staff at the start of each day. Pupils respond with big smiles and say good morning to each other as they join their friends in class. This positive start to the day helps pupils to feel valued, well cared for and ready to learn. Pupils are happy in school and they have fun while they learn. They enjoy opportunities to use music and song in different activities. For example, pupils sing together during dance and physical movement lessons. Children in the Reception Year sing rhymes and play music while enjoying stories. Pupils said that adults in school are kind to them and that they feel listened to. Every pupil is enabled to have a voice and to express their opinions and choices. The school has high expectations of all pupils. It works in close partnership with parents and carers and other professionals to ensure that all pupils achieve or exceed these expectations. On occasion, pupils express their emotions through their behaviour. When this happens, staff know exactly what to do to support and help pupils. For instance, a pupil may need a quiet calm environment, a walk or some sensory support. This helps pupils to quickly settle back into learning.
