Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

Wraysbury Primary School has improved dramatically and now provides a caring, ambitious education where pupils achieve well. Teachers have strong subject knowledge and use effective strategies to help all pupils learn, particularly those with additional needs. The school prioritises reading and writing, with most pupils developing strong literacy skills that prepare them well for secondary school.

Key Strengths

  • Strong subject knowledge - teachers explain concepts clearly and pupils value opportunities to deepen their understanding
  • Effective support for pupils with SEND - the school identifies needs accurately and provides tailored support to help pupils catch up quickly
  • Priority on reading and writing - most pupils, including those with SEND, develop strong literacy skills by the time they leave
  • Well-behaved, hardworking pupils with positive attitudes to learning who treat each other with care and respect
  • Broad, ambitious, well-sequenced curriculum with regular assessment to identify gaps in learning

Areas for Improvement

  • Some pupils in key stage 2 who struggle with reading do not receive phonics support that is effective enough
  • Gaps in pupils' knowledge and understanding are not addressed quickly enough across all subjects - some pupils move on to new learning before mastering key knowledge
  • Inconsistency in how well teachers address learning gaps - this is stronger in English and mathematics but weaker in some other subjects

Safeguarding

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

Extracurricular Activities

Swimming lessons in on-site pool, performances to live audiences, pupil leadership roles, museum visits, botanical garden visits

Wraysbury Primary School has made rapid improvements since its previous inspection and is now rated Good across all areas. The school is caring and nurturing, with ambitious leaders who have successfully transformed teaching and learning, particularly in writing and mathematics.
