What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 11 February 2025

Woodland Grange Primary School is a happy and harmonious place. The diversity of the school's context is celebrated and everyone is made to feel welcome. The school's vision, 'Aiming high to achieve excellence and success by working together' is a daily reality for pupils, right from the moment they start at the school. Pupils are deeply appreciative of the safe and nurturing school environment the school provides. They value their education and understand the importance of working hard. Pupils' behaviour is exceptional. They give of their best at all points in the school day. A typical comment from pupils was, 'We behave well because we want to learn and because the school has taught us well'. They are motivated to earn points for their school houses. The school is inclusive. There are high expectations for all pupils. The 'Aspiration Tree' sets out the key characteristics pupils are expected to model, for example, to be respectful and empathetic, risk takers and self-motivated. Pupils endeavour to live out these qualities. They achieve well. Pupils move to the next stage of their education with the skills and knowledge they need to continue to succeed.

What the school should improve

  • The school has not identified the key knowledge and skills pupils should acquire in relation to the speaking and listening strand of the English curriculum. As a result, it is not clear how pupils will develop and deepen these skills over time. The school should ensure that a speaking and listening curriculum is developed.
  • In a small number of subjects, assessment information is not used sufficiently well to inform future lessons or to adapt the curriculum where needed. This means that pupils develop misconceptions or gaps in their learning that are not systematically addressed. The school should ensure that assessment information is used well across all subjects.
