Academic Excellence at Wincham Community Primary School

At Wincham, we're committed to providing a high-quality education that empowers every child to reach their full potential. We're proud of our strong academic record and the positive feedback we receive from Ofsted.

Ofsted Report Highlights

Our most recent Ofsted inspection (November 2023) recognized the school as "Good" in all areas, including:

• Quality of Education: Inspectors noted our "ambitious and meaningful curriculum" designed to build logically from year to year.

• Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils were praised for their positive behaviour and eagerness to learn.

• Personal Development: The report highlighted the exceptional preparation of pupils to contribute to their community and wider society.

• Leadership and Management: The governing body and leadership team were recognized for their strong contribution to the school.

• Early Years Provision: Inspectors commended the effective early years provision, especially in communication, language, and reading.

Key Strengths Highlighted by Ofsted:

• "Pupils are keen and inquisitive learners and achieve well across the curriculum."

• "Teachers carefully introduce and frequently revisit this knowledge. They check that pupils know and can remember what they have been taught."

• "Pupils understand the school rules. They know that it is important to respect others and their belongings. Pupils also learn to respect themselves."

• "Pupils develop a strong sense of citizenship and empathy, exemplified by the school's long-standing links with a school in Kenya."

• "Children in early years settle in confidently. They learn quickly how the school expects them to behave."

Our Commitment to Continuous Improvement

While we're delighted with the positive findings of the Ofsted report, we're always striving to improve. We're actively addressing the areas identified for development, including further refining our curriculum and strengthening our quality assurance systems.
