About Heronshaw School

Heronshaw School was rated Good overall in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a change from the Outstanding grade it received in its previous inspection in 2016. The inspection report is worth reading closely because the school’s performance is not uniform across all areas. While the overall effectiveness and quality of education are rated Good, the school continues to achieve Outstanding marks in early years provision, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes. This suggests that the youngest children and the wider personal growth of pupils are particular strengths, even if academic delivery has slipped a notch. For a primary school taking children from age 4 to 7, the early years rating is especially relevant — it indicates strong foundations for the school’s youngest learners. The school has 196 pupils against a capacity of 270, so there is room to grow, and a quarter of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is above the national average.
