The school’s calm, caring and cohesive culture helps pupils to be happy here” ~ Ofsted

We are delighted to share the positive outcome of our recent Ofsted inspection, which celebrates The Langley Heritage Primary as a school where pupils are happy, ambitious, and exceptionally well-prepared for the future.

At The Langley Heritage Primary, we pride ourselves on being an inclusive school where every child is known, valued, and supported. We celebrate our diversity and are proud to be a school where every child is respected, included, and empowered to make a positive difference. Ofsted recognised how deeply this is embedded in our culture:

“Pupils value the diversity and wide range of cultures and backgrounds represented in the school.”

One pupil beautifully summed up the heart of our school:

“This school is a community. Everyone is together and we all have fun. It is the people that make it special.”

The inspector praised the positive behaviour of our pupils:

“Pupils model the school’s values…. and have caring and respectful attitudes towards each other and staff.”

Our staff were commended on their dedication to developing our pupils’ talents and interests – from sports and music to life-skills and wellbeing.

"The school offers an exceptional programme of personal development. Staff are highly committed to help pupils develop their talents and interests.”

At TLHP, our vision is to achieve high expectations for all through a curriculum rooted in Curiosity, Exploration and Discovery. Ofsted praised our “ambitious curriculum" and the unique way we use Museum Learning to deepen knowledge, enrich vocabulary and create meaningful, lasting experiences.

“Pupils enjoy ‘museum learning’ … it builds vocabulary and helps make links between different subjects and concepts.”

Our ‘high expectations for both achievement and behaviour’ were praised, along with the systems and processes in place, to ensure that every child builds strong foundations from the very start.

As a result,

“The curriculum is highly ambitious. There is a clear focus on supporting all pupils to achieve well, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds or who are more vulnerable.”

Ofsted validated our approach in giving outstanding support for pupils with SEND, ensuring all children make excellent progress.

“Needs are identified quickly. Pupils with SEND achieve well.”

The inspectors noted that our parents are happy with their children’s school environment.

“Parents and carers value the strong, kind community ethos.”

At TLHP, we know that being present is key to success. While attendance is a national concern, Ofsted recognised our strong commitment to ensuring pupils are in school, happy, and ready to learn each day.

“The school does all that it reasonably can to help pupils in school.”

Staff wellbeing is a top priority for us, with a dedicated wellbeing committee working closely with leaders to support and empower our team. Our staff appreciate the support and guidance they receive from our strong leadership team.

“Staff feel well supported with their workload and well-being.”

Hanna Blackmore, Headteacher

“We are incredibly proud of this result. It reflects the dedication of our staff, the enthusiasm of our pupils, and the strong relationships we have with families. This is a school where every child is given the chance to thrive – and we’re thrilled that Ofsted has recognised that.”

We are incredibly proud of this achievement and grateful to every member of our community who contributes to making our school the school that it is today.
