What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 December 2024
Pupils achieve exceptionally well at Woodford Primary School. The curriculum is ambitious and inspires pupils to learn. Pupils have an excellent recall of what they have learned and can apply this to new learning. The school offers a thoughtful range of enrichment opportunities. For example, visitors from a range of faith communities help pupils to understand different world religions. Leadership roles give pupils opportunities to contribute to school life. The eco-council takes responsibility for keeping the school environment litter-free. Sports leaders and anti- bullying ambassadors enjoy supporting younger pupils during breaktimes. There are a variety of extra-curricular activities, which pupils enjoy. Take-up is high, and pupils who are from disadvantaged backgrounds, and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), benefit from these experiences. Pupils have various opportunities to represent the school in different ways. Consequently, pupils learn how to be good citizens. Pupils treat one another with empathy and respect. The recent changes to the behaviour policy have had an impact. Pupils follow the three simple rules of 'ready to learn, respectful and safe'. This makes the school a calm, purposeful environment for learning. In the Reception Year, children show sustained interest in activities. They chat happily, sharing ideas while they play and learn. This sets them up well for Year 1.
