St John's Walham Green Church of England Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 22 May 2024

The shared values of 'courage, compassion and wisdom' run through the life of the school. Pupils' behaviour is impeccable. Beginning in early years, children are taught to manage any disagreements and how to be an emotional 'first-aid kit' to others when they need help. Bullying is rare, and pupils understand how to raise concerns if needed. Pupils know who their trusted adults are, and they are taught how to stay safe, including when online. As a result, pupils feel safe and are kept safe at school. Pupils benefit from the wide extra-curricular offer. All pupils can develop their talents through the musical clubs available, which include two choirs and five school bands. Pupils enhance their leadership skills through a range of roles as worship leaders, class representatives, travel ambassadors and playtime guides. Pupils contribute to their local community through fundraising for initiatives such as the 'sweater swap', promoting the importance of reducing waste. Leaders are very ambitious for pupils, and they are motivated to achieve these goals through the positive approach to learning at the school. Pupils work hard and achieve highly. Their successes are reflected in the outcomes they reach across the curriculum, including in national assessments.
