Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

Pinner Park is a caring, inclusive school where all children thrive. Teaching is lively and engaging, with teachers who know their pupils extremely well and push them to achieve their best. The school is particularly strong in reading, and pupils from all backgrounds - including those with additional learning needs and those learning English as an additional language - make excellent progress.

Key Strengths

  • Pupils make rapid progress across all subjects, particularly in reading where they read with confidence and expression
  • Teaching is consistently outstanding and engaging, with high expectations that push all pupils to do their best
  • All groups of pupils, including those with special educational needs and English language learners, make better than expected progress
  • Pupils' behaviour, attitudes and safety are exemplary with polite, respectful and enthusiastic learners
  • Very effective phonics teaching gives children confidence to read unfamiliar words

Areas for Improvement

  • More able pupils in mathematics are not always given sufficiently challenging work
  • Pupils do not have individual targets in mathematics to help them self-assess and know what to improve

Safeguarding

Safeguarding is effective - the school maintains detailed records relating to safeguarding and provides high quality support and care for all pupils.

Extracurricular Activities
