School earns Ofsted praise

St Werburgh’s Primary School is celebrating a glowing Ofsted report.

Inspectors visited in July 2024 and their report was published this term. The school was judged as Good overall, with children’s behaviour and attitudes and personal development rated as Outstanding.

The inspectors commented on how the school is ambitious for all and that diversity is celebrated. Pupils are tolerant and accept everyone’s uniqueness and behaviour is excellent. 

They noted that parents and carers were overwhelmingly positive about the education and the opportunities the school provides, commenting that “the school goes beyond teaching the bare bones of the curriculum and helps my child thrive as an individual and grow important skills for life.” 

The inspection recognised that pupils’ personal development is a high priority within the school’s curriculum and beyond. Inspectors praised the school for providing  “a wealth of wider enrichment opportunities identified through the ‘Passport of Experience’’’.

Jack Lacey, Deputy CEO,  said: “This is a wonderful report which rightly recognises what a happy, ambitious and inclusive school St Werburgh’s is.”
