What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 November 2025
Sidney Stringer Primary Academy is an inclusive school where pupils flourish. They receive an excellent start to their education. There is a collective vision to ensure pupils 'believe, achieve and succeed'. Staff at the school have high expectations for all pupils. Pupils live up to these expectations in every aspect of school life. This is reflected in the very positive outcomes that they achieve by the time they leave the school. This is especially the case for disadvantaged pupils. At every stage, pupils are very well prepared for their next steps. Staff know pupils and families very well. They recognise the school's importance at the centre of the community. Relationships between staff, pupils and families are positive. As a result, the school identifies and supports individual pupils' needs effectively. This enables pupils to achieve well. One parent's comment captured this well: 'This school is totally focused on the children.' Pupils love coming to school to learn. The range of trips to enrich the curriculum is a strength of the school. Enrichment experiences give pupils real life examples to reflect on. Pupils love these experiences and say that they help them with their learning back in school. The school ensures that extra-curricular opportunities are always available to all pupils. Staff are determined to enrich all pupils' lives to help them prepare for life in modern Britain. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. There is a calm and purposeful environment in classrooms and around the school. Pupils show very positive attitudes to their learning. This begins in the early years, where children quickly learn and follow daily routines. Pupils are polite and respectful. They trust adults to listen to them and support them if they are worried about anything. As a result, pupils feel safe and cared for in school.
What the school should improve
- Leaders and those responsible for governance should sustain the effectiveness of their work in all areas. They should seek continued improvement, overcoming barriers and challenges, in order to drive a transformational impact for all pupils. This includes disadvantaged pupils, those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, those who are known (or previously known) to children's social care, and those who may face other barriers to their learning and/or wellbeing.
