Ofsted Report 2022

Dear Parent/Carer, 

We have now received a final copy of our Ofsted report following the inspection that took place in October 2022. 

We are delighted to share with you that our school continues to be judged a ‘Good’ school. 

The report states: ‘The school values of enjoyment, confidence, individuality, creativity and independence run like a thread through school life. This reflects pupils everyday experience and inspires them to aim high.’ We feel this is a wonderful remark that recognises the exceptional work the staff have done to ensure the curriculum is broad and ambitious 

 

At our core, we are a community school and we strive to embrace every one of the backgrounds our children come from - to build relationships and develop their personal identities. The inspector noted that ‘Pupils are proud of their vibrant, happy school. They get on well together and are curious about the many different cultures and experiences within their diverse school community. They share their thoughts, take time to hear the views of others and value the kindness that is evident everywhere. Positive relationships between staff and pupils ensure that pupils are known as individuals. There is much fun and laughter. Pupils feel safe. They do not worry about bullying because they know it would not be tolerated.’

 

With reference to safeguarding, the inspector commented that ‘The school’s safeguarding team have extensive knowledge. They provide regular and thorough training for staff. Swift action is taken when staff report any safeguarding concerns.’ She also highlighted the high expectations leaders have of pupils’ behaviour ‘Pupils’ excellent behaviour extends beyond the classroom as they move around the school’.

Everyone at Wrotham Road Primary School is passionate about creating an excellent school that our pupils and community so richly deserve. I am grateful to the staff, students and families who have been involved with us over the years. Your support, dedication and willingness to embrace change have been the foundations for the improvements we have achieved. 

We look forward to continuing this strong upward trajectory in the coming years. We remain committed to guiding all our students in fulfilling their potential and inspiring the wider community. 

This is a fantastic achievement for everyone connected to Wrotham Road Primary and is something to be immensely proud of.

Yours sincerely,

Mrs Sarah Jack

Gurdwara Visit

WOW! What an amazing trip. The children walked to the local Gurdwara for an RE experience, based on the religion of Sikhism. They learned how the word 'guru' symbolises teacher and that 'Sikh' translates to learner. They were very impressed by the community spirit.  

Nursery

Nursery have spent the week learning all about Guy Fawkes and the celebration of Bonfire night. We spent some time making our own Guy and went around the school asking classes for a 'Penny for the Guy'. We also had a go launching our own rocket when we were outside, we counted down and shouted "bang!" when it went into the air. 

Roots To Food Workshop

 

Darren from Roots to Food has been in school this morning educating KS2 on the importance of having a healthy balanced diet. Together with the children, he has designed two delicious menus and cooked them with a group of children during his show. Why not give them a try yourselves at home?
