Highlights of the most recent Ofsted report for Cutteslowe Primary School, following the inspection in June 2025.
- "Cutteslowe Primary School is a welcoming, nurturing and inclusive school. There is a strong sense of community and a shared passion to provide all pupils with a broad, high-quality education. The school’s ethos of ‘be kind, be respectful and meet the challenge’ underpins every aspect of school life. Pupils live the school’s values enthusiastically, taking on positions of responsibility. This includes looking after the school’s animals and volunteering at the local community food larder."
- "Staff have high expectations for pupils’ behaviour. Behaviour management strategies are clear and they are consistently applied. Consequently, the school is a calm, orderly environment. Pupils are safe and happy and have positive attitudes to their learning."
- "The school is aspirational for all pupils. Pupils enjoy learning here and rise to the high expectations set by staff. This is reflected in pupils’ positive attitudes to learning and the strong quality of work they produce. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive effective support. Parents and carers of pupils with SEND are positive about the impact the school has on their children. The school ensures that every pupil is able to participate fully in both the academic curriculum and a range of enrichment activities. Consequently, pupils achieve well."
