Ofsted

Our last Ofsted inspection was on 24th April 2024. We remain a Good School!

Our below are some of our highlights.

“High levels of pastoral support are at the heart of the school community. Relationships between pupils and adults are respectful and warm, which helps pupils to feel safe. Pupils trust adults to deal with any concerns that may arise, such as bullying, which are rare.“

“The school offers pupils many leadership opportunities. Pupils are proud of their roles of responsibility, such as pupil leadership team members, house captains, reading ambassadors, bistro buddies and sport leaders.“

“The curriculum provides interesting and motivating opportunities for children that enable them to learn well. A focus on developing children’s language and communication is a priority.“

“The agreed phonics programme is implemented with accuracy and precision. This is because leaders ensure that all staff are well trained. In Reception, children are systematically taught phonics and how to use this knowledge to read and write words. This means that as pupils move into Year 1 and beyond, they have strong foundations to build on and quickly become fluent readers. Pupils who need to catch up are swiftly identified and receive effective support.“

“Pupils are well prepared for life beyond school. They are taught how to identify and manage their emotions and feelings. The school supports pupils’ well-being. Pupils understand that everyone has the right to be treated fairly and respectfully. They are taught to respect the opinions and beliefs of others. This is evident in pupils’ relationships and behaviour towards each other, and in their conduct around the school.“

We are extremely proud of our teaching staff, they work cohesively to put every child at the core of what we do here at Morden Primary. The curriculum is diverse and allows celebration of cultures and experiences our pupils bring to the classroom. We believe that every child has the ability to thrive and reach their personal best when given the opportunities to succeed. Our pastoral support and attention to detail is why pupils say they feel safe and secure in school and this in turn allows our children to focus on our motto Learn – Achieve – Enjoy!
