The review – Ofsted’s first routine inspection of the school since the COVID-19 pandemic – took place on April 23 and 24 and found that “Pupils are immensely proud of their school”.
Most pupils achieve well, inspectors said, and staff “know pupils well and use their knowledge to skilfully support them with their learning”.
“Parents and carers enthuse about the school. They praise its caring ethos and the way their children are supported with their academic and social development. Parents enjoy sharing the celebration of pupils’ achievements through the display boards in the school playground. One parent summed up the views of many by saying, ‘You really do feel the St Denys Primary School embrace.’”
The full report is available to download from Ofsted’s website.
Since September 2024 the government’s school inspection watchdog has stopped giving single-word overall judgements to schools. In its last full inspection in 2015, St Denys Primary was rated ‘Good’ - a rating confirmed by a later short inspection in March 2019.
