What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 November 2025
Pupils at this school thrive, especially those who are disadvantaged. This starts from the moment pupils arrive each morning, when staff warmly welcome them. Staff take the time to build positive relationships with pupils. This helps them to settle quickly and be ready to learn. Pupils understand what staff expect of them and follow the school routines very well. This starts in the early years, where children learn how to move around the school sensibly. Pupils are polite, respectful and courteous. Pupils feel safe and have no concerns about bullying. They are confident that staff will listen and act if they have any worries. Leaders promote a strong sense of belonging for all pupils and staff. The school vision, 'Growing a brighter future together', and school values underpin all aspects of the school's work. For example, the current focus on the value of friendship encourages pupils to take great care of each other. Pupils love coming to school, and this is reflected in their high attendance. They strive to earn 'badges' that celebrate achievement within the extensive wider offer, beyond the academic. For example, older pupils buddy with Reception children to earn their mentoring badge. Leaders are relentless in ensuring every pupil benefits fully from this excellent offer. Pupils enjoy learning and take pride in their work. Leaders ensure the curriculum prepares pupils well for their next stage. Reading is a particular strength; pupils quickly learn to read so they can access the wider curriculum confidently. Inclusion is at the heart of Primrose Hill. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities and those who are disadvantaged are identified early. Staff make precise adaptations so all pupils thrive. Leaders prioritise equity, ensuring every pupil benefits from the school's ambitious offer.
What the school should improve
- Leaders need to ensure that teachers check precisely how well pupils are securing their knowledge of the curriculum to enable pupils to consistently achieve well.
