What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 21 May 2024

Pupils are extremely happy at Slade Primary School. They know staff care about them, and they care about the staff and each other. As one pupil said, 'This is the best school ever; teachers are great.' The school is highly ambitious for all its pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The school relentlessly seeks out opportunities to give pupils experiences that will raise their expectations of life and their ambitions. From the moment a child joins Nursery or Reception, they enjoy a colourful, purposeful environment that is language-rich and full of wonderful learning possibilities. This continues throughout their time in school. Pupils' behaviour in lessons, from the youngest children to the oldest, is exemplary. Pupils want to learn, and staff want them to achieve highly, regardless of individual pupils' starting points. Pupils meet these high expectations. At breaktimes, pupils play happily together. They feel safe and are safe. Pupils confidently talk about the trusted adults they can speak to if feeling worried or sad. Staff deal with any issues swiftly and effectively. Pupils, parents, carers and staff are overwhelmingly positive about the school and all that it does.
