Spring Cottage Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 29 November 2023

The Spring Cottage values of respect, determination and happiness underpin everything everyone does. Pupils recognise that these values influence their highly positive attitudes to learning. Pupils behave with exemplary levels of respect for each other, adults and visitors. There are three simple school rules that pupils know and apply in their lives. Pupils consistently endeavour to 'do the right thing'. The school's exceptional curriculum is designed to meet the specific needs of the Spring Cottage community. Pupils can apply for a wide range of leadership opportunities provided by the school. These roles have a noticeable impact on pupils. For example, the well-being ambassadors support pupils at playtime, and the reading ambassadors encourage reading in the key stage 1 reading shed. The ambassadors have a high status in the school community. These pupils are excellent role models. The school exudes inclusivity. The two specially resourced provisions for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) provide exceptional learning support for pupils with autism or communication needs. Leaders include these pupils, where possible, in the life of the school. Everyone loves Maggie, the school dog. She is instrumental in enabling pupils to openly talk about their worries or difficult issues. Pupils recognise that Maggie's presence enhances their well-being. There is high-quality pastoral support for pupils.
