Fielding is a values-based Quality Mark primary with over 1000 pupils in the Northfields community of Ealing, London. It offers wrap-around care with breakfast and after school club provisions.
Plus, it operates an Additionally Resourced Provision (ARP) for pupils, funded by the local authority, opened in January 2023. This caters for up to 27 pupils from Reception to Year 6 (aged four to 11 years) who have an education, health and care plan for autism spectrum disorder and related speech, language and communication needs. All of the children in the ARP have an education, health & care plan (EHCP).
Fielding selected ReadingWise Comprehension and ReadingWise Decoding in March 2017. Both interventions are in place as of 2024, and the school expects to continue working with us to support learners into the future.
In March 2023, Fielding Primary School had its Ofsted inspection, achieving another Outstanding grade (its previous inspection in 2017 was also outstanding, and this was the first since the pandemic).
Outstanding Ofsted Inspection school: Fielding Primary School
At ReadingWise, we are proud to champion the schools we work with. Here are a few of the highlights from the report:
“Pupils, including children in the early years, flourish in this school. They love coming to school and being with their friends. Pupils thrive in this exceptional school. Relationships throughout the school are excellent. Pupils are happy and safe, and they behave sensibly. They demonstrate superb manners to both adults and other pupils..”
“Teachers encourage pupils to succeed and take pride in their learning. Children in early years also work hard and behave extremely well. Leaders have carefully crafted a rich and ambitious curriculum. They have ensured that all pupils access a wealth of opportunities that enhance learning.”
What does the Ofsted report say about reading?
“Children learn phonics successfully from the moment they enter the Reception Year. They build on strong communication skills built up in Nursey.”
“This helps pupils to gain the phonics knowledge they need to be successful readers. Pupils across the school delight in the books that their teachers share with them.”
“Leaders make sure that staff are well trained so that they teach early reading effectively. This includes the top forty ‘must reads’ identified by leaders. Teachers read books that explore the rich diversity among people and families. Pupils enjoy the way their teachers skilfully engage them in plot twists and turns.”
