Vicar's Green Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 22 May 2024

Pupils thrive in this safe and welcoming school, where everyone is expected to achieve their best. Pupils achieve exceptionally well, and have a keen and genuine interest in learning. This is because the school has high academic ambitions for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). All pupils benefit from the aspirational curriculum, which is enriched with purposeful and relevant wider experiences. Warm, nurturing working relationships between adults and pupils permeate the school. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They listen attentively, remain highly motivated and show respect and kindness to both adults and each other. The school fosters responsibility in pupils, beginning in the early years. For instance, pupils represent their peers as part of the school council. Pupils' ideas have led to changes, such as introducing a wider choice of food options at lunchtime. Pupils take these responsibilities seriously because they know that their ideas are valued and will be implemented. The wider curriculum offers multiple opportunities to promote pupils' independence and confidence and to help pupils become very successful learners. High aspirations for pupils' all-round development, rooted in the school values, are evident throughout the school. Pupils demonstrate these aspirations in various ways, such as participating in external competitions and working with the local food bank.
