In September 2022, reforms were introduced in the UK education watchdog's inspection system, allowing for a more nuanced evaluation of schools. Recent inspections in 2025 at Towers Junior School and Harold Wood Primary School have revealed positive environments for student growth and effective teaching practices, although areas for improvement were noted. Towers Junior School fosters individuality and a strong community, while Harold Wood Primary maintains nurturing relationships and high behavioral expectations. Both schools received valuable feedback on refining assessment processes to enhance student learning outcomes.
Inspectors noted that pupils ‘thrive at this happy school’, flourishing in a supportive environment that promotes individuality and respect for others through a robust sense of community.
Ofsted highlighted that Towers Junior School’s students achieve well across various subjects, benefiting from a rich enrichment program, but stressed the need for consistent assessment use.
