Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

Oakfield Primary Academy creates a caring, inclusive environment where all children feel valued and safe. The school excels at supporting pupils with additional needs, ensuring they access the full curriculum with tailored help. Leaders are relentless about improving attendance and behaviour, creating a positive learning culture where pupils are happy to come to school.

Key Strengths

  • Relentless focus on attendance with year-on-year improvements and significant reduction in persistent absence
  • Highly positive behaviour across the school with clear routines and tailored support, resulting in fewer suspensions
  • Robust inclusive culture with early identification of needs and effective, tailored interventions for all pupils
  • High-quality personal development programme including trips, France visits for Year 6, and community work with care homes and hospice
  • Strong governance and leadership with rigorous evaluation and demonstrable impact on pupil outcomes

Areas for Improvement

  • Pupils sometimes wait too long for staff to move their learning on, which can limit progression through the curriculum
  • Limited opportunities for pupils to develop writing in other subjects, affecting independent writing skills
  • A small proportion of pupils, including some disadvantaged pupils, do not consistently achieve higher standards in writing
  • Some staff-child interactions in early years do not extend learning as much as they could

Safeguarding

Safeguarding standards are met - leaders have established an open culture where safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and concerns are actively identified, acted upon and managed.

Extracurricular Activities

Music clubs, sports competitions, arts programmes, trips, France visits for Year 6, community work with care homes and hospices

Oakfield Primary Academy is a strong school with excellent attendance and behaviour, where leaders have built an inclusive culture that supports all pupils, particularly the most vulnerable and those with additional needs.
