Windmill Primary School and Nursery

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 11 February 2025

Pupils describe Windmill as a warm, welcoming and inclusive school. There is a sense of teamwork underpinning the shared aspirations and high standards achieved here. Dedicated staff support all pupils to benefit from a rich curriculum that is enhanced by a range of trips, experiences and clubs. Pupils arrive keen to learn, dive enthusiastically into all that is on offer, and leave each day brimming with ideas. Pupils develop a love of reading, and they enjoy both learning and discussing their work. Their behaviour in lessons and conduct around school are impressive. They help each other however they can. Pupils enjoy the different leadership roles on offer, such as eco- councillors, house captains and prefects, and being in assemblies. They are rightly proud of their school. Pupils value how the school's 'rights respecting school' status, with its focus on promoting respect, is threaded throughout school life. They develop consideration, tolerance and genuine respect for each other and the wider community. Windmill nurtures confident, enthusiastic learners who are well prepared for their next steps in education. This is rightly valued by parents. As one said, 'my children are thriving here.'
