Ofsted

Ofsted last inspected the school in 2023, and New Monument Primary School continued to be recognised as a good school, describing it as "a welcoming place to be" where pupils enjoy coming to school and rise to the school's "very high expectations".

Inspectors highlighted the strong and caring relationships between adults and pupils, noting that children are happy, feel safe and benefit from a positive culture built around the values of "Thrive, Aspire, Achieve". The report praised pupils' behaviour, attitudes to learning and the school's commitment to ensuring that every child receives the support they need to flourish.  

The inspection also recognised the school's ambitious curriculum, high-quality teaching and determination to broaden pupils' horizons and aspirations. Reading was identified as a particular strength, with pupils developing a genuine love of reading through the school's rich literacy culture. Inspectors praised the wide range of opportunities available through the BET Guarantee, as well as the school's inclusive ethos, effective pastoral support and commitment to personal development. Leaders were commended for their high ambitions, believing that "all pupils deserve the best from their time at school".
