What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 February 2025
Uphall Primary School is an exceptionally diverse school where most pupils speak English as an additional language. Staff know pupils and families individually. Positive relationships between staff, pupils, parents and carers ensure everyone is valued and included. Pupils thrive in the family atmosphere of this nurturing school. The school has high expectations for pupils' learning and behaviour. Pupils have an excellent understanding of their moral and social responsibilities, which helps them meet leaders' expectations with great success. The music offer is exceptional. For example, every pupil in the school learns to play more than one instrument as they move from simple percussion to ukulele and then to keyboard. A specialist teacher provides weekly instrumental tuition to pupils. Weekly singing and listening assemblies provide an opportunity for pupils to sing together and appreciate music from around the world. Many pupils belong to the choir, which performs each year at the Royal Albert Hall and the O2 Arena. The ambitious and well-designed curriculum is underpinned by a rich programme of educational outings. For example, pupils enjoyed sharing their experiences of visiting the British Museum, Tower Bridge and the Cutty Sark.
What the school should improve
- On occasion, teaching does not deepen pupils' understanding of subject-specific vocabulary and related concepts. In these instances, pupils' understanding of aspects of the curriculum is less well developed. The school continue its work to ensure teaching consistently secures subject-specific vocabulary and concepts so pupils are thoroughly prepared to tackle the ambitious curriculum.
