What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 November 2022

'Ambition, beauty and connection' sit at the heart of pupils' education at Wood Farm. Through these core values, leaders are truly aspirational for every child. They transform pupils' life chances through removing barriers to ensure all pupils get a top-quality education. Staff teach pupils self-belief and how to interact positively with others. This enables pupils to produce high-quality work. Leaders plan experiences and trips to widen pupils' knowledge beyond where they live. A partnership with a primary school in South Africa enriches pupils. They write letters, make video calls and undertake joint learning projects. Opportunities are also sought to inspire pupils' talents and interests. Specialist teachers inspire pupils to learn an instrument. The school council empowers others with key messages about protecting the planet. Pupils regularly explore the natural world and love the new outdoor classroom. They relish the impressive facilities where they can cook, dance and play team sports. Pupils know that the school is a safe and caring environment. There is camaraderie among everyone, and pupils see the good in all. They learn to speak kindly and treat others respectfully. Adults are always on hand to listen and help. Around school, pupils follow the behaviour rules and try their best.

What the school should improve

  • Some curriculum subjects do not outline all the component knowledge in a coherently sequenced way. This means that teachers can be unsure about what needs to be taught and the assessment checks of what pupils should remember. Leaders are reviewing their curriculum and need to finish laying out all the steps of knowledge so that pupils build their understanding from early years until Year 6.
