Cirencester Primary School continues to be a school graded ‘Good’ by Ofsted in every category; we are pleased with the recognition and validation that reading is placed firmly at the centre of our curriculum, and it is through our bespoke school curriculum that we raise pupils’ aspirations about possible career paths.

Below is an excerpt from the 2022 OFSTED report, with the full reports available further down.

"Cirencester Primary School is a friendly and inclusive place to learn. Pupils are happy and proud of their school. They speak positively about the care, guidance and support they receive from staff. Older pupils are typically courteous and respectful to each other and to adults. They set a good example for younger children.

Leaders have raised expectations of pupils’ learning and behaviour. Staff expect pupils to behave sensibly in lessons, and they do. At social times, pupils enjoy activities to keep them physically active, such as games on the field, or reading in the inviting library. Pupils feel safe in school. They say that bullying and unkind behaviour does not happen often, but staff sort it out quickly when it does.

Through a carefully constructed curriculum, leaders plan ‘experience days’ to raise pupils’ aspirations about possible future career paths. As a result, many aspire to be engineers, authors or architects. Year 6 pupils enjoy learning about responsibility by taking on ‘assembly leader’ and ‘infant helper’ roles.

Leaders promote fundamental British values alongside the school values. Pupils learn the importance of respecting everyone, regardless of difference. They understand right from wrong. Staff encourage pupils to celebrate diversity and value uniqueness."
