A Swindon primary school is "really pleased" after its latest Ofsted inspection was published. 

Even Swindon Primary School, at Raybrook Park, was inspected by the education watchdog earlier this year and returned a rating of 'Good'. 

The school, which currently has 697 pupils on its register, had last been fully inspected in 2018 when it also returned the same result. 

Inspectors said the school was a "friendly place" where pupils "understood the importance of treating everyone equally and with respect". 

They wrote: "Staff understand and consistently follow the school’s approach to behaviour. Pupils behave well. They are polite and courteous. 

"From the early years onwards, relationships between staff and pupils are warm and respectful. This helps pupils feel safe. Pupils say that staff are kind and caring. They trust adults to listen to them and help them with any worries they may have."

They added: "The school provides a range of opportunities for pupils to develop their interests through residentials, visits and after-school clubs, including art, choir and dodgeball.

"Pupils are keen to take on roles of leadership, such as play leader, reading ranger and school DJ. They say these roles build their confidence and understanding of responsibility."

Inspectors suggested that in order for the school to move from Good to the highest possible rating of Outstanding, teachers need to have a better subject knowledge of some wider curriculum subjects.

Headteacher Alison Lowe has reacted to the findings.

She said: "We are really pleased with the outcome of the inspection.

"The inspection team very much worked with leaders and staff at the school. It was definitely a collaboration.

"The whole school community works so hard to ensure that our school continues along its great journey. We are really proud of every single one of them."

When Ofsted have judged a school to good, it will then normally go back into the school about once every four years to confirm that the school remains good.

This is called an ungraded inspection, and it is carried out under Section 8 of the Education Act 2005.

Ofsted does not give graded judgements on an ungraded inspection but if it finds evidence that a school would now receive a higher or lower grade, then the next inspection will be a graded inspection, which is carried out under Section 5 of the act.

Usually, this is within one to two years of the date of the ungraded inspection.
