What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 January 2025
Thursfield Primary School is a welcoming school with a family feel. Committed staff ensure that pupils receive a 'ticket to anywhere'. This motto is reflected in all the school's work. Pupils love learning and enjoy the challenge of the curriculum. Many parents and carers agree. A typical comment from parents is that 'my child loves the range of subjects and topics covered and is eager to share their learning with us at home.' The school has high expectations for all pupils' achievement. Pupils rise to this challenge. Outcomes in national assessments are positive. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) access the whole curriculum alongside their peers. Pupils behave well in class and at breaktimes. Pupils are polite and are respectful of differences between themselves and others. Pupils understand and follow the behaviour systems in place. They know the 'three Rs'. They are ready, respectful and responsible. Pupils have confidence that staff will sort out any small issues which do occur. Pupils take on many leadership roles in the school, including the school council, prefects and 'caretakers'. These roles tangibly contribute to school life. These pupils say, 'We are role models for the rest of the school.'
What the school should improve
- Some of the adaptations that staff make for pupils with SEND could be more effective. On occasion, some pupils with SEND do not make as much progress as they could. The school should ensure that support for pupils with SEND is as effective as possible so that they learn more.
