West London Free School Primary

Inspectors found West London Free School Primary performing exceptionally well in every judged area: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. The school provides a highly ambitious curriculum, strong reading and phonics provision, excellent support for pupils with SEND, exemplary behaviour and exceptionally high attendance. Pupils are described as thriving, safe, considerate and well prepared for the next stage of their education. The school's personal development offer is a notable strength, with pupils taking on leadership roles, learning about democracy and respecting diverse families, and benefiting from thoughtfully planned trips and enriching experiences. Leadership at school, trust and governance level is rigorous and ambitious, and staff value the support they receive for professional development and well-being. Safeguarding arrangements are effective. This was the school's first routine inspection since May 2015, following a period of exemption after its previous outstanding judgment and the COVID-19 pandemic. No overall effectiveness grade is awarded under the current framework, but no areas of concern or underperformance are identified in the report.
