What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 June 2025
Phoenix Primary School cultivates a culture where pupils are expected to thrive and inspired to work hard. Pupils rightly take great pride in their many accomplishments. They flourish in this highly ambitious, safe and inclusive community. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive the support and guidance that they need to be highly successful. The curriculum is well designed and ambitious for all pupils, including those with SEND. This ensures that pupils are fully engaged in their learning and achieve highly. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary and shines through in the happy and respectful interactions that they have with their peers and staff. This is because the school sets consistently high expectations, from early years onwards, that pupils are eager to meet. Pupils learn the importance of the school values, including 'kindness and politeness'. They are proud to be 'polite platypuses' and 'kind koalas'. The extensive range of wider experiences is carefully considered to enhance pupils' learning and encourage them to be ambitious about their futures. Talents are quickly identified and nurtured so that the unique strengths of pupils are celebrated. Pupils are keen to explore new possibilities, and no pupil misses out.
