Ofsted's report, in its own words

What is it like to attend this school?

Pupils are rightly proud to be part of the community at Kilburn Grange. They enjoy attending school, including spending time with Neo, the dog mentor. Staff are fully committed to the school's motto of 'growing hearts and minds to learn, enjoy and succeed'.

The school has high ambitions for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Leaders and staff are relentless in ensuring that pupils benefit from a broad and rich education. As a result, there is a palpable love of learning. Pupils achieve well and are very well prepared for the next stage of their education.

What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?

In each subject, and areas of learning in early years, leaders have identified the most important concepts that pupils need to learn and remember. These are sequenced so that pupils return to, practise and consolidate key ideas. This enables pupils to tackle increasingly complex learning over time. For example, in art and design, children in early years use materials such as seashells, feathers and branches to recreate familiar facial expressions. This supports older pupils to create increasingly complex and refined collages and sculptures. Pupils enjoy having their work exhibited in the school 'gallery' and in Kilburn Library.

Children in early years have an excellent start to their education. The well-designed curriculum enables them to explore learning with increasing curiosity and independence. Early communication and language development is a priority. Expert staff provide a language-rich environment that supports children to learn new vocabulary and to express their needs with confidence.
