Ofsted Report

Following the most recent Ofsted inspection of Bearwood Primary and Nursery School in January 2025, it is with great pleasure that I share with you a copy of the report from His Majesty’s Inspector Gavin Summerfield.

In summary, the report confirms that the school remains ‘good’ and signposts the findings of the inspection.

The report is extremely positive and given the challenging new revised Ofsted framework that came into effect in September 2019, we were very pleased with the outcomes across the board. The inspector identified so many strengths.

Throughout the thorough two day inspection, we were recognised for taking effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection, where the school was graded as a good school.

Some highlights from the report include being recognised for:

• Having high ambitions for all pupils

• Encouraging pupils to develop their character and resilience.

• Pupils developing positive and trusting relationships with staff.

• Pupils enjoying school and feeling safe.

We would like to thank our entire team of staff for their amazing efforts this year and thank you to all parents and carers for your continued support as important members of our school community.
