What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 December 2023
A positive, nurturing atmosphere permeates this school. Pupils feel valued and cared for at Primrose Hill Primary. Staff greet pupils warmly each morning, setting an encouraging tone for the day. This is an inclusive school, where everyone feels welcomed. A well-considered curriculum, underpinned by the school's aspirational aims, enables pupils to learn and achieve well. The atmosphere within lessons and during social times is purposeful. Staff have high expectations for behaviour. Pupils are well mannered and considerate towards others. Pupils value the outdoor space and the activities that are provided to keep them busy at playtimes. Relationships between staff and pupils are positive and supportive. Pupils know that if they have a worry, they can speak to an adult in school who will help them. Pupils feel happy and are kept safe. There is a wide variety of opportunities for pupils to take on positions of responsibility. For instance, 'well-being champions' have participated in assemblies and taught lessons about feelings and emotions. Additionally, the 'friendship squad' supports younger peers with activities in the playground. The school has a range of clubs for pupils to join, such as street dancing, fencing and coding. These experiences help pupils to develop their talents and pursue their interests.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the school has not identified the essential knowledge that pupils need to be taught. There are some inconsistencies in how effectively the delivery of the curriculum supports learning in these subjects. As a result, there are some gaps in what some pupils know and remember. The school should continue to develop the curriculum in these subjects.
