What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 March 2025
The school mission, 'dream big, fly high', inspires staff and pupils alike to the highest standards of achievement. Staff share the core belief that better is always possible. These aspects influence everyone in the school to be ambitious for their own academic success. Pupils benefit from an exceptional curriculum. They flourish academically and socially. Woodford Primary School is an excellent school and a happy place to learn. Leaders have established an aspirational curriculum for pupils to study. The school places no limits on pupils' development and achievement. Pupils achieve very well. The school enhances pupils' experiences by providing many opportunities for pupils to be leaders. From the early years onwards, pupils learn the skills that they need to lead and express their views. Many run for elected office in the pupil parliament. They are exceptional role models for their peers. Pupils' behaviour and attitudes to learning are exemplary. Pupils know that their learning matters. They attend to this learning with enthusiasm. If pupils struggle to behave well, adults use their expertise to help pupils to get back on track quickly. This culture of aspiration supports pupils to enjoy school and attend regularly.
