Perry Wood Primary and Nursery School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 14 May 2024

By the time pupils leave the Perry Wood Primary School, they achieve exceptionally well. They acquire a passion for reading and mathematics. There is a learning buzz in classrooms. Pupils persevere on the challenging tasks teachers set for them. They 'think very hard' and are not frightened to 'have a go.' Every day pupils live the school ethos 'roots to grow, wings to fly.' Pupils talk excitedly about the exceptional wider development offer. The Perry Wood University, school passport and vast range of clubs and trips provide a rich range of opportunities to widen pupils' horizons. This helps them to acquire new talents and interests such as coding, engineering, tennis, quidditch and sports science. Enrichment experiences ranging from watching a play to voting in a school election are carefully planned. The opportunity to graduate at a local university inspires pupils to think about their futures. The school sets high expectations for all pupils' behaviour. Pupils show high levels of respect for others. They behave consistently well demonstrating high levels of self-control. Emotional well-being is prioritised so that pupils are ready to learn. If pupils struggle to behave well the school takes highly effective action to support them to be successful in school. The school does all it can to ensure pupils attend school regularly. As a result, more pupils are in school learning every day.
