Wimbledon Chase Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 19 March 2024

This school is successful at bringing its community together. Parents and carers have high levels of confidence in the staff, because of how well teachers know each pupil. The pupils here are very happy members of the school. They feel safe and know that staff care about them and are always ready to help. The school's leaders set a high bar for achievement. They want pupils to be passionate readers and to have a strong body of knowledge by the time they leave school. Many pupils go on to achieve exceptional outcomes in national tests. Starting from the early years, clear routines are taught so that pupils know how to behave. Throughout the school, pupils' behaviour is exceptional. They are polite and respectful and lessons are rarely disrupted. Incidents of bullying are very rare, and never tolerated. Pupils know the behaviour expectations well because they are involved in creating them. The opportunities for wider development are remarkable. Pupils, including those in the specially resourced provision for pupils with speech, language and communication needs, take on significant leadership roles. These build on the school's 'Cornerstone Rules' that all pupils know and live, such as being kind, positive, respectful and inclusive.

What the school should improve

• In a small number of foundation subjects, the curriculum is not securely and accurately matched to the national curriculum. In these few cases, pupils do not consistently learn and remember what is expected. The school should continue the work it has started to address this and strengthen its oversight to ensure that pupils are achieving curriculum aims at least as ambitious as the national curriculum across all subjects.
