OFSTED
In February 2025, Seely Primary had an ungraded Ofsted inspection, which is an inspection to determine whether it has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection in May 2019. Graded judgements are not given on an ungraded inspection.
'Pupils at Seely Primary School are happy, confident and proud to be part of an inclusive community. A sign at the entrance reads: ‘Everyone belongs here’. This principle is deeply embedded in the school’s ethos. Pupils know the school’s core values – rights, rules, responsibility and respect – inside out. They feel safe and valued, knowing that staff listen to them and support their well-being.
The school has high expectations for pupils’ academic achievement as well as the contribution they make to school life. Pupils enjoy an engaging and creative curriculum that motivates them to do their best. They achieve well. Pupils take on a range of leadership roles, including as school council representatives, eco-warriors, diversity defenders and arts ambassadors. As one pupil explained, ‘Everyone has a role to play in keeping our school special,’ a view echoed by many.
Pupils behave well, showing respect for each other and their environment. They make sensible choices in lessons and at social times. When a pupil struggles with their behaviour, staff respond swiftly and sensitively to provide support. Pupils speak positively about the school’s approach to behaviour. They say that adults help them to resolve any problems quickly'.
We pay tribute to our entire team and our supportive school community for sharing our vision and creating a school with a full, rich and varied curriculum. We are proud to be raising academic standards whilst holding true to our core vision. We are thrilled that our inclusive ethos shines through our report and highlights our commitment to meeting the needs of all our Seely children.

OFSTED have a site that is dedicated to you so that you can share your views about the school.
Parent View replaces the Parental Questionnaire used before inspections. Parents of children in school must register with Ofsted first before using the site. Parent View asks for your opinion on 12 aspects of your child’s school.
By sharing your views, you will be helping our school to improve. You will also be able to see what other parents have said about our school.
The Ofsted site requires your email address and a password to complete the questionnaire. Before registering please read the Ofsted "Terms of Use." Ofsted store email addresses in order to ensure people cannot make multiple entries from the same email address. Schools will not have access to any email addresses and all results will remain anonymous.
Ofsted do make it clear that the preferred method for dealing with a concern is to talk to the school first.
Thank you for taking the time to give your views to Seely Primary & Nursery School.

Ofsted state that "Parent View is not a method for complaining or sharing individual concerns about a school with Ofsted."
