What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 13 May 2025

Pupils enjoy attending Turves Green Primary School. The school sets high expectations for pupils' achievement and conduct. Most pupils achieve well and are well behaved. Pupils are happy and safe. Some pupils do not attend school regularly and miss out on valuable learning. The school is a calm, nurturing environment. Pupils settle quickly to their learning and want to do their best. Staff make sure pupils follow the school routines. Pupils know and follow the school rules: 'ready, respectful and safe'. They are confident that teachers swiftly resolve any incidents of poor behaviour so that it does not disrupt learning. Play leaders organise and support a range of activities at social times. Pupils value and make good use of these. Pupils who sometimes struggle to regulate their behaviour get sensitive support from staff. Immersion experiences and trips, such as visits to castles and museums, bring the curriculum to life for pupils. The annual residential and 'sleep under the stars' events build pupils' independence and teamwork skills. Public speaking, managing money and opera workshops and sporting competitions help to inspire pupils to try new things and explore new opportunities.
