Livingstone Primary School
Ofsted Report
Our most recent Ofsted inspection took place on 21st and 22nd July 2026. We are delighted that the inspectors recognised our school for the wonderful community it is. We achieved 'STRONG' in several areas and 'EXPECTED' in the others.
The report particularly highlighted the dedication of the whole school community in creating an environment where children are well supported, engaged in their learning and able to flourish.
Some quotes from the inspectors:
'Pupils pay full attention and engage with their learning. The relationships between staff and pupils are warm and caring.'
'Children in the Early Years....get off to a positive start. Interactions are warm and purposeful.'
'Pupils show a respect for others and a real curiosity about the world beyond their own community. They learn to celebrate and appreciate difference, and treat each other with kindness and respect.'
'Pupils are calm and focused in lessons and at social times. They move around the school with purpose and are friendly and well mannered. Older pupils look out for younger pupils and make sure they can join in at social times.'
