Pupils flourish at Valley View Primary School in Rodley, Ofsted inspectors have said.
The school, off Coal Hill Lane, was rated as outstanding for the behaviour and attitudes of its pupils, and was rated as good for the quality of its education, personal development, leadership and early years provision.
The report states: “From early years onwards, children learn to be kind, caring and respectful to others. They develop their confidence as they progress though the school. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are very well prepared for their next steps.”
There’s also praise for reading, which ‘sits at the heart of the school’s work’ as well as the ‘aspirational’ curriculum.
Pupils embody the school’s vision of ‘enjoying, achieving and learning together’. They say that their school is fun and that they ‘cannot wait to get there every morning’. The school has exceptionally high expectations of pupils’ academic and personal success.
In an area to improve, the report adds: “The school should make sure that the tasks pupils complete in all subjects match the key knowledge they are expected to learn, and that staff receive further support to check that pupils are successful in remembering it.”
