What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 26 March 2024

Reedings Junior School is a welcoming and nurturing school with a strong sense of community. Pupils learn and achieve exceptionally well. They are incredibly proud to belong to this inspiring school. Pupils enjoy their learning. The 'aiming high' mantra set by adults is risen to every day by everyone. Adults' expert help also substantially benefits pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils have very positive relationships with all adults and eagerly cooperate. They trust adults in the school to help them if they need it. Pupils and families receive high levels of pastoral care. Pupils are safe and well cared for. Pupils enjoy debates about the school values and fully recognise the part they play in 'aiming high together'. Their leadership skills are developed as junior leadership team members, peer mediators, eco-leaders or digital leaders. Pupils value having a say in how they can make a difference at this school. Pupils take part in several inter-school sport competitions and music festivals. They learn to play a musical instrument. Performing in talent shows is popular. Visits from the police help pupils understand about right and wrong. Pupils are also taught how to stay safe online.
