St Edmund’s RC Primary School OFSTED:
Inspected on 9th and 10th December 2025

We are thrilled to be able to share our OFTSED report. Ofsted has recently introduced significant changes to both the inspection process and the way outcomes are reported. Reports have been designed to give parents and carers a better understanding of how well a school helps children achieve, belong, and thrive.

Under the renewed framework, Ofsted no longer gives a single overall judgement. Instead, each school receives a set of grades across different inspection areas presented in a new report card.

We are delighted with our outcomes and would like to thank everyone in our school community. I am so proud to be part of St Edmund’s family and I know that the outcomes we have achieved reflect everyone’s hard work – our staff team, governors, parents, carers and our amazing children.

The following comments really stand out and are a testament to what we can achieve together:

 Pupils flourish at this warm and welcoming school. They feel safe, happy and part of a thriving community. Pupils describe their school as a family, where everyone is valued and looked after by staff and pupils alike.

Leaders, staff and pupils contribute collectively to making the school a consistently calm and positive place to learn and play. Pupils demonstrate very high levels of self-control. They listen attentively and engage eagerly in lessons.

 Pupils conduct themselves in the same positive way during less structured times, including breaktimes, reflecting the strength of the school’s approach. Pupils demonstrate high levels of respect for each other.

 Warm and caring relationships with staff, together with highly positive partnerships with parents and carers, help children thrive and be confident learners. Children are extremely well prepared for key stage 1.

 Staff work harmoniously together, modelling the school’s values and contributing to the very positive climate for learning. This enables pupils to feel secure and to flourish.

 A continuous culture of improvement ensures leaders never rest on their laurels, maintaining the highest of expectations for all pupils and groups of pupils, with no ceiling placed on their aspirations.

 Leaders have developed a warm and welcoming environment where pupils from different groups thrive and feel a deep sense of belonging. Highly successful partnerships enable leaders to go 'above and beyond' for their pupils, breaking down barriers to learning and ensuring timely support for pupils and families.
