What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 April 2023
Sutton Primary Academy is a very special place that pupils thoroughly enjoy attending. There is lots on offer and all pupils are fully immersed in everything that the school does. Leaders and staff have high expectations for all, and pupils relish living up to these. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. Older pupils look out for younger pupils on the playground and play leaders ensure that there is always plenty for everyone to do. Pupils know that if they have a worry they can put it in the 'worry monster' and a member of staff will help them. Pupils feel safe and well cared for in school. Pupils value the visits and clubs that leaders arrange for them. From drama to sketchbook club, football to choir, all pupils have the chance to develop their talents and discover new interests. Pupils also enjoy taking on responsibilities in school, such as being eco warriors or members of the school council. It is clear that this is a school where caring and understanding are at the heart of everything. Pupils recognise this. They learn how to be independent, take risks, and show respect. Staff, pupils and parents speak very highly of the school. They are right to do so.
