Ofsted 2024

Following our inspection in May 2024 we are thrilled to share we have been graded ‘Outstanding’ in all areas.

The exceptional report concludes that at Highgate Primary, ‘all pupils receive an excellent education’. It also states that ‘pupils at Highgate Primary are enthusiastic learners who enjoy coming to school each day,’ it recognises their love of learning and concludes that ‘children are rightly proud of their school’.

We could not be more proud of our school. We have all worked exceptionally hard to build a creative curriculum that genuinely excites our children. Having their love of learning and enthusiasm for school recognised by Ofsted is a wonderful validation of everything we set out to achieve. Our children and staff are fantastic and inspectors noted this when they visited our school. Throughout the report, praise is given to them, and quite rightly as they are the ones who make the school such an happy place to learn and work.

Ofsted 2023

Following our inspection in Spring 2023, I am pleased to share with you the final version of our Ofsted report here.

Whilst this was an ungraded inspection, the headline is that Ofsted considered there to be enough evidence of improved performance to suggest that the school may well have been judged ‘outstanding’ had this been a graded inspection. The school’s next inspection will therefore be a graded inspection, with Ofsted set to return in a year or two.

I am delighted with the report, which I feel captures the spirit of our unique school. Whilst we have never changed our ethos to fit within any Ofsted framework, it is nonetheless very gratifying to receive external validation of the wonderful work of all sections of our school community. Please do take time to give it a good read.
