Woodberry Down Community Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 5 December 2023

Pupils at Woodberry Down readily demonstrate the school's values of collaboration, creativity, focus, kindness and responsibility. There is a strong sense of community. Pupils are confident, articulate and well-behaved. Leaders have created an environment where pupils try their best. They work hard and produce work of good quality in different subjects. Pupils are proud of their school and the exciting things they experience, such as residential trips, ice skating and museum visits. Pupils feel safe and are kept safe in school. Bullying is rare. Pupils know they can use worry boxes or talk to teachers about any concerns they might have and that these will be dealt with swiftly. Low-level disruption is rare, so pupils can concentrate and engage positively with their learning. Pupils are well motivated to take up a wide range of roles. Pupils enjoy these responsibilities and feel that they are making an impact by helping others. For example, the eco-champions have planted trees, the playground friends set up activities and the reading ambassadors help younger pupils.

What the school should improve

• Some of subjects are at an earlier stage of design and implementation. In these instances, teaching does not consistently focus on or check that pupils have secured the knowledge they need. The school should ensure that the curriculum is implemented consistently well so that pupils learn and remember more.
