Whitgreave Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 25 January 2023

At Whitgreave, pupils achieve great things. They achieve well in all subjects because leaders and staff have the highest of expectations. Staff know their subjects well and teach exciting and inspirational lessons. This is a learning community where the school motto of 'Learning Together, Achieving Forever!' is a central backbone. Leaders have created a series of lessons that build on what pupils already know and understand. From this, pupils rise to staff's expectations and achieve exceptionally well. Pupils keenly participate in lunchtime and after-school events. They eagerly anticipate events and competitions in sports, science, health and safety and music. During the inspection, pupils proudly shared songs from their Young Voices performance at a national event. Pupils know what bullying is. Leaders investigate all reported incidents of bullying and act quickly to resolve them. Pupils feel safe in school. Staff positively reward pupils' behaviour throughout the day, and pupils appreciate this. Pupils' behaviour in lessons and around school is exemplary. Pupils have a voice at Whitgreave Primary, and staff listen to their ideas. Pupils take on a range of leadership roles, and they are active in shaping their school. Whitgreave is a school where pupils succeed and thrive. As one parents said, 'it's a great school'.
