Ormiston Primary School

Overview

Inspectors visited Ormiston Primary School in November 2025, engaging with parents, children, and staff. The report evaluates the school’s work against two quality indicators, rating both as "satisfactory," and confirms the school has the capacity to continue improving without further inspection visits.

Strengths

• The school employs "strong approaches to learning through play" which help younger children engage and make good progress.
• Children benefit from a "range of outdoor learning in the local area and wider community," which helps motivate and engage them.
• Pupils are described as "well-behaved" and enjoy attending school, with many participating in leadership groups and showing readiness for increased roles in leading class learning.

Areas to improve

• The school must "continue to improve attainment in literacy and numeracy" by raising expectations of what children can achieve.
• Staff need to work together to improve the quality of learning and teaching, ensuring "consistency in learning and teaching and improved progression in learning" as pupils move through the school.
• There is a need to improve how staff assess learning to support "more robust judgements about children’s progress and attainment," including better planning and assessment for those requiring additional support.
