Wildmoor Heath School

Wildmoor Heath School is a small, inclusive primary school that is performing securely well overall, with early years provision judged strong and all other domains at the expected standard. Children get off to a highly positive start in the early years, where a meticulously designed curriculum and expert phonics teaching help them settle quickly and thrive. Across the school, pupils behave well, attendance is high, and reading outcomes are particularly strong, with disadvantaged pupils and those with SEND learning well because barriers are successfully reduced. Safeguarding standards are met.

Strengths

• Early years provision is a strong standard, with high expectations, well-established routines and a meticulously designed curriculum.
• Reading is a clear strength, with expert phonics teaching and outcomes above the national average by Year 6.
• Pupils behave well and the school is calm and orderly, underpinned by the 'be safe, be ready, be kind' rules.
• Attendance is high, with very few pupils persistently absent and prompt support for families where barriers arise.
• Leaders have created a broad, balanced and well-sequenced curriculum since the last inspection.
• Inclusion is a strength, with effective support for disadvantaged pupils and pupils with SEND.
• Staff are proud to work at the school and morale is high, with a culture of trust and professional learning.
• Personal development is well planned, with pupils learning to challenge discrimination and keep themselves safe.

Areas for Improvement

• There is variability in pupils' writing, with teachers sometimes not identifying and addressing inaccuracies in handwriting, spelling, punctuation and grammar swiftly enough.
• A small number of key stage 2 pupils at an earlier stage in writing do not achieve as well as they should.
• Systems for monitoring behaviour incidents do not provide leaders with sufficiently sharp, detailed insight to identify patterns with precision.
• Leaders' systems for evaluating the school's effectiveness are not as rigorous or informative as they could be.

Admissions: local authority offers data from the Department for Education. A school is oversubscribed when at least 5% of the families who put it first were not offered a place, and undersubscribed when everyone who put it first got in but 10% or more of its places were unfilled in the Department's school capacity survey (the latest survey is used for entry years it does not cover). Places: Department for Education, School capacity, from local authorities' annual survey as at 1 May. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024–25); the survey was not run in 2020. Places include sixth form places. Forecasts are the local authority's own for the school's planning area, an area it uses to plan places that is not the school's catchment area. The forecast starts from a head count in 2025; the dashed line is the Department's estimate of places in that area, including those the authority has firm plans for. Planned places are cumulative, and only those with firm plans are counted.

In 2024–25 pupils at Wildmoor Heath School attended 96.1% of sessions (the national figure for primary schools was 94.8%). 7.5% of pupils were persistently absent, missing at least one session in ten (nationally 13.0%).

Sessions missed

Pupils persistently absent

Source: Department for Education, Pupil absence in schools in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). Persistent absence means missing 10% or more of sessions; severe absence means 50% or more. No figures were published for 2019/20.

In 2024–25, 2.4% of pupils at Wildmoor Heath School were suspended at least once (nationally 1.1%). No pupils were permanently excluded.

Pupils suspended at least once

Source: Department for Education, Suspensions and permanent exclusions in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). A pupil can be suspended more than once, so suspensions per 100 pupils can be higher than the share of pupils suspended. Very small numbers are hidden by the DfE. Exclusion figures dropped in 2020 and 2021 because of school closures.

In 2025–26 Wildmoor Heath School had 22.2 pupils for each teacher (the national figure for primary schools was 20.7). Of its teachers in 2024–25, 16.5% were no longer at the school a year later (nationally 15.7%).

Pupils per teacher

Teachers who left the school within a year

Source: Department for Education, School workforce in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). Pupils per teacher counts full-time-equivalent pupils and teachers. Turnover is the share of a year's teachers (full-time equivalent) who were not at the school the following year, whether they moved to another school or left state-funded teaching. Turnover and sickness figures run one year behind the ratios. Sick leave is the share of teachers who took at least one day in the year, so it swings widely at small schools, where a few teachers can make it 0% or 100%. The national figures are for all state schools of the same type.

In 2025–26, 10.1% of pupils at Wildmoor Heath School were on SEN support (nationally 15.4%) and 6.2% had an education, health and care (EHC) plan (nationally 4.1%).

Pupils by main type of need

Source: Department for Education, Special educational needs in England (the 2025–26 school census). SEN support is extra help in school without an EHC plan. National figures are for all state-funded primary schools. Counts are as published, with small numbers not hidden.

Academy figures include a share of the trust's central services, shared out by pupil numbers, and are rounded to the nearest £1,000. Premises costs were defined differently from 2024, so compare them across that gap with care.
