Ofsted

Staple Hill Primary was last inspected in June 2026. It was judged as being at ‘expected standard’ in all areas. A paper copy of the latest Ofsted report can be obtained from the school office on request.

Some quotes from the report…

“Any gaps that pupils have close quickly as a result of effective teaching.”

“Leaders have high expectations of pupils’ behaviour and conduct. Pupils consistently live up to these. “

“The school’s wider curriculum is ambitious and planned well for each subject and year group.” – Ofsted 2026

“Staff are caring and have high expectations. The early years environment is a calm, safe place to learn. The children treat it with respect. Children’s wellbeing is a priority and there are typically high-quality interactions between adults and children.”

“Pupils have opportunities to be involved in a range of extracurricular activities, such as writing for the school newspaper and attending forest school. There are sporting opportunities, such as rugby and a football tour abroad for some pupils. Other pupils benefit from musical experiences such as singing in the choir and performing in a show.”
