Ronald Ross Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 22 May 2024

The school has the highest expectations for pupils' behaviour and achievement. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well in national tests and produce work of high quality across the curriculum. Classrooms are purposeful places where pupils work enthusiastically, including when they find tasks challenging. From the early years, children listen attentively to each other and to adults. This helps them to take on board a range of ideas. Pupils are considerate of others. They share, take turns and invite others to play. Playground buddies ensure that everyone is included. Pupils take up roles of responsibility widely across the school. From the early years onwards, pupils' personal and social development is broadened through all that the school organises. This includes outings to galleries, the ballet, opera and to many theatre performances. These culturally rich experiences considerably strengthen pupils' wider education. For example, pupils in Year 6 have a detailed understanding of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, having seen the play performed before staging their own production of it. Clubs including orchestra, chess, cookery and yoga are popular. Strong, trusting professional relationships exist between adults and pupils. This makes pupils feel safe. Parents and carers appreciate the wealth of support provided by the school, including weekly opportunities to hear from a range of professionals about topics that matter most to parents, including supporting children's wellbeing and helping pupils with SEND to be successful. The views of staff are listened to and thoughtfully supported.
