Ofsted
Our most recent Ofsted inspection took place on the 3rd and 4th June, 2025.
The inspector visited the school over two days, which included lesson visits, discussions with staff and pupils, meetings with school leaders and other staff and a scrutiny of work undertaken by the children.
We are absolutely delighted that the inspector concluded that Scargill Junior School may have improved significantly across all areas since the previous inspection that the graded the school as Good. Overall judgements are no longer given.
Our key highlights are:
'Pupils are supportive and friendly to each other and to staff.'
'The adventurous and fun atmosphere that pervades this school is achieved because pupils know how they are expected to behave, both inside and outside of lessons, kindness and respect are evident throughout the school day.'
'Pupils, including those who are disadvantaged, know and remember more of the curriculum over time, and do so securely.'
Most importantly, the inspector concluded that: ' Pupils feel happy at school and they are kept safe.'
