Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

Tooting Primary School creates a warm, caring environment where children thrive academically and personally. Reading is a priority and taught exceptionally well, with staff providing extra support for pupils who need it. The school offers a rich curriculum with plenty of hands-on learning experiences and enrichment activities that help children remember what they learn.

Key Strengths

  • Strong relationships between staff and pupils help children settle quickly and feel safe
  • Well-structured reading and phonics teaching ensures pupils develop confident reading skills
  • Broad and engaging curriculum enriched with practical experiences like museum trips and outdoor learning
  • Effective support for pupils with SEND in the resource base
  • Positive behaviour and attendance, with pupils living out school values of kindness and respect

Areas for Improvement

  • Teachers don't consistently check pupils' prior knowledge across subjects, causing some pupils to forget important information needed for more complex learning
  • Support for pupils with SEND in mainstream classrooms is not always put into practice as planned, leaving some pupils struggling
  • Some subjects need more consistent monitoring of knowledge gaps over time

Safeguarding

Safeguarding arrangements are effective and the school has created a positive culture where pupils' interests come first.
