Outstanding
Our school has been awarded the highest Ofsted grade of “outstanding” after our inspection in January 2015. Not only have we been awarded the outstanding grade but have been judged as being outstanding in all areas which is, of course, even more pleasing. The grade reflects the very high standards the whole of “Team Loxley” have at Loxley Primary School: staff, parents, governors and pupils. We continue to “aim high together” so Loxley continues to improve but remains the very special place it is today.
“Children make an excellent start to their education in the early years. They are very well prepared for their future learning in Year 1 and reach above average standards.”
“The headteacher's excellent drive and ambition for the pupils is shared fully by the highly committed leadership team and very effective governing body. Staff instill a passion for learning and pride in achievement in their pupils. As a result, the school has maintained the high quality of all aspects of its work since the previous inspection.”
“The rich curriculum promotes pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development extremely well. An excellent range of sporting and creative activities develop pupils' physical and emotional well-being and additional funding for sport is used very well. The school is further extending all-year round opportunities for outdoor learning and adventure.”
“Pupils of all abilities make excellent progress in reading, writing, mathematics and many other subjects throughout school. Standards are well above average when they leave in Year 6.”
“Disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs make excellent progress from their individual starting points. They work with confidence and independence.”
“Pupils' behaviour is exemplary and they feel very safe. Attendance is above average and pupils are punctual and eager to learn.”
“The quality of teaching is outstanding. Teachers and teaching assistants have an excellent understanding of pupils' learning needs. They make outstanding use of marking and feedback to help pupils improve their own work.”
