There is a “harmonious community of happy pupils and adults” at a primary school in Hampstead, according to Ofsted.

Inspectors concluded that Fitzjohn’s Primary School in Fitzjohn’s Avenue continues to be a ‘good’ school following two visits on April 17 and April 18.

In fact the report, published on May 17, continuously praises the school for its effective management and how respectful the children are.

It said that the school’s value of resilience, respect, curiosity, excellence, individuality and responsibility are “well embedded”.

The report continued: “Pupils know the importance of the school’s values, and they are lived out in how pupils behave towards each other.

"Fitzjohn’s Primary School is a harmonious community of happy pupils and adults."

Inspectors found that the school is calm and orderly, with leaders swiftly dealing with any issues of bullying that may occur.

Pupils also showed they were proud of their school and had enthusiasm for their learning, Ofsted said.

Anyone with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) get “kind, patient and effective” support from staff, according to inspectors.

Staff at the school are described as highly skilled and they were able to effectively identify those who may need extra support to catch up.

The school has implemented a system, The Fitzjohn’s Fabulous Favourites, for kids in all year groups to read a diverse range of high-quality books.

Inspectors continued: “Staff have been fully included in these developments and appreciate the freedom they are given to adapt lessons to ensure pupils learn successfully.

“Staff enjoy working here because they feel valued as professionals and appreciate that leaders and governors ask for their views when making decisions that might affect their workload.”

Many strategies were put in to improve attendance by working closely with individual families, and it is described as a “high priority” for leaders.

However Ofsted noted that the curriculum in some early stage subjects could be improved – as some activities pupils complete are not consistently helping them to deepen their understanding of important ideas.

The report suggested: “The school should ensure the curriculum is coherently designed and sequenced in all subjects and that the tasks pupils complete match the ambition of the intended curriculum.”

Fitzjohn’s Primary School was approached for comment.
