We are delighted to share the outcome of our recent graded Ofsted inspection, held on 08 and 09 July 2025.

This report is available on the Ofsted website (and link below). Please do take time to read the report in full, as it highlights some excellent examples of what Ofsted describe as our “remarkable school”.

Sonning Primary is described as “a joyful place where pupils embody the values of love, courage, respect, aspiration and curiosity.” To see our values so clearly lived out by the children – and recognised by Ofsted – is an achievement we should all be proud of.

The inspectors also highlighted our “impressively ambitious” curriculum, noting how pupils leave us with “remarkable maturity, self-motivation and a deep knowledge of what they have learned.”

Perhaps most heartening of all is the comment that “children flourish here… they work together to explore activities and solve problems with perseverance and excitement.” This captures the spirit of our Early Years and the foundation it provides for the rest of school life. To “flourish” is more than to succeed academically – it means to grow in confidence, creativity, and joy. We are also proud of the recognition that our school is “unwaveringly inclusive” and has an “exceptional personal development programme”.

Some of our Y5 pupils enjoyed attending a fencing event at Crazies Hill, as part of our Trust's North Hub enrichment opportunities. We all take it in turns to provide events - thanks to Crazies Hill for hosting!
