Stanborough Primary Shines Bright: Exciting New Preschool Launch and Glowing Ofsted Praise!
Watford’s Stanborough Primary School, part of our Adventist family of schools, is thrilled to announce a season of growth and recognition. Known for its strong Christian values and nurturing ethos, the school is expanding its Early Years offerings following outstanding feedback from our recent Ofsted inspection, which rated us as Good with Outstanding behaviour and attitudes, as well as Outstanding personal development.
Ofsted Praise: “Warm, Welcoming, and Inclusive”
During their latest visit, Ofsted inspectors commended Stanborough for fostering a “warm and welcoming environment” where “pupils feel valued and cared for.” The report highlights our strong safeguarding culture, high standards of behaviour, and an engaging curriculum rooted in a values-led approach that reflects our Christian foundation and belief in each child’s God-given potential to ‘let their light shine’ (Matthew 5:16).
Key highlights from the Ofsted report include:
Strong Subject Knowledge: Staff demonstrate a deep understanding of their subjects.
Genuine Care: There is a notable commitment to the wellbeing and academic progress of every child.
Individual Attention: The school ensures that “every child is known, nurtured, and supported to thrive.”
A Beautiful Beginning: Preschool & Nursery Now Open
This September, we are excited to launch our brand-new Preschool provision for 2-year-olds, complementing our established Nursery class.
Preschool and Nursery Offerings:
30-hour funded places for eligible families
15-hour places with an option to ‘top up’
A focus on early development and school readiness
Play-based learning with structured, engaging routines
Warm, qualified staff passionate about young learners
A rich balance of indoor learning and outdoor exploration
With small group sizes and a family-style atmosphere, Stanborough Primary’s Early Years setting provides a joyful and stimulating environment where curiosity is encouraged, and children grow in both faith and confidence. Our youngest learners are gently introduced to the wonders of God’s world through stories, songs, and loving care that reflects His love.
Admissions Open Across All Year Groups
In addition to our expanding Early Years department, Stanborough Primary continues to offer places across Reception to Year 6, providing:
Excellent academic standards
Strong pastoral care
A vibrant school community centred on Christian values
Leadership opportunities and creative enrichment
100% of children have received their first-choice secondary school option for two consecutive years when sitting entrance exams or 11+ exams
Whether you’re seeking a nurturing start for your 2-year-old or a Christ-centred primary school for an older child, Stanborough Primary School is a place where children are known by name, grow in grace, and are well-prepared for life while being rooted in faith and guided by love.
