What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 July 2025

To be part of Sebright Primary School is to be part of a caring, supportive family. Pupils experience success and joy through their learning and play. No one is left out. This is one reason why pupils attend regularly and enjoy coming to school immensely. Pupils know and live by the school standards 'Be responsive, be respectful and be ready to learn'. From the moment they enter early years to the moment they leave the school in Year 6, pupils achieve very well. This includes disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). This is due, in part, to the school's exceptionally well-designed curriculum and the wide, rich range of extra-curricular experiences on offer. It is also due to the unwavering ambition that leaders and staff share to make sure that pupils achieve the very best they can. The school's rigour in supporting pupils' academic success is matched by a constant focus on developing thoughtful, caring, young citizens. Throughout the day, staff provide excellent role models of how to be kind and thoughtful. In the early years, children gain the knowledge and social confidence to move seamlessly into Year 1. Year 6 pupils are more than ready for the move to secondary school. Staff make sure that pupils feel safe at school. Pupils' behaviour is impeccable. Bullying is extremely rare and not tolerated.
