Whitchurch Primary School was inspected by Ofsted on 4 and 5 February 2025, and we were delighted that the school continued to be judged Good.

The report recognised the school's high expectations for pupils' achievement, behaviour and personal development, highlighting that:

“Teachers want pupils to achieve high academic standards that will set them up well for the future.”

"From ‘Excellent Entering’ at the start of the day to ‘Excellent Exiting’ at the end, pupils are surrounded by smiles. Smiling is what ‘S’ stands for in the school’s ‘STEEP’ approach to interacting. The other factors ensure that pupils make eye contact and say, ‘Please’, ’Thank you’, and ‘Excuse me’. Smiling is also one of the ‘smart’ walking rules, along with sensibly, silently and safely. Pupils move around school exactly like that."

Inspectors noted that pupils behave well, work hard and achieve highly, particularly in reading, writing and mathematics. They also celebrated the kindness shown by our children, their understanding of the needs of others and the positive experiences available to them throughout the school day.

We are proud that the report reflects the commitment of our pupils, staff, families, Trust and governors and the positive learning environment at Whitchurch.
