At Foxfield, our practice is deeply embedded and recognised nationally as a model of exemplary standard. We place great value on strategic system delivery and collaborative partnership working, recognising that strong relationships add immense value to the learning of all children. Driven by a commitment to transformational impact, we ensure all children thrive while actively giving back to the wider educational sector. We champion sector led priorities by utilising the knowledge, skills and expertise of our own staff and leadership team to build system capacity, sharing our proven practice in high quality curriculum design, evidence informed pedagogy, and inclusive strategies for disadvantaged learners and pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). By leading collaborative initiatives and offering wide reaching support, we empower educators across the educational landscape to secure life changing outcomes for every child, particularly the most vulnerable.

Excellence Visits

Foxfield Primary School’s Excellence Visits offer a unique, immersive opportunity for visiting educators to see our practice in action. Through focused, practical workshops paired with real time classroom observations, we host a wide range of visiting cohorts, from local authority schools and Multi-Academy Trusts to individual leadership teams, middle leaders, and whole staff groups. Every visit is fully bespoke and carefully shaped around the precise priorities of the visiting school. Delegates can focus on a broad spectrum of educational areas, including high-quality Early Years provision, embedding robust vision and values to cultivate a thriving school culture and implementing effective strategies for attendance and behaviour. Our host sessions also explore inclusive practices for all learners, innovative curriculum design, impactful teaching and learning pedagogy, data driven strategies for outcomes and achievement and rich opportunities for personal development. By opening our doors and sharing our journey, Foxfield Primary School proudly fulfills a key role in system- ed leadership. These visits enable us to actively give back to the wider education sector by fostering peer to peer collaboration, building professional networks and modeling sustainable improvement. Ultimately, the positive ripple effect of these visits extends far beyond Foxfield itself, elevating standards, empowering teaching staff and helping transform educational outcomes for children across the region. Hosting regular nationwide excellence visits is an integral part of our systems leadership.

Please see below comments from a range of different schools who have visited us through an Excellence Visit. 

‘At Stanley Grove Academy, leaders were particularly struck by the richness of dialogue and the deeply embedded partner work, which is clearly strengthening pupils’ understanding. The language-rich environments across classrooms, alongside the genuine sense of pupil agency, resonated strongly with us - your commitment to nurturing curiosity, joy, and civic responsibility in primary education is both evident and inspiring. The development of Maths stickers to deepen understanding has also sparked real interest.”

“At Townville Academy, colleagues reflected on the impressive consistency across the Foxfield classrooms and the clarity of intent underpinning every approach. The strong emphasis on the ‘why’ ensures genuine staff buy-in, and the shared sense of purpose means that both adults and children are confidently working towards clearly understood goals.”

“Auckley Primary Academy leaders were particularly inspired by the empowerment of leadership at all levels. The strength of your Junior Leadership in particular left a lasting impression - children who truly see themselves as changemakers, with a voice that is heard and valued.”

“From Smawthorne Henry Moore Academy, there was deep appreciation for the thoughtful and carefully planned targeted support, always underpinned by a clear rationale and a strong sense of purpose towards the end goal.”

At Jerry Clay Academy, leaders were keen to further develop the depth of classroom talk after seeing the exemplary practice in Foxfield classrooms, revisiting this as a key priority, alongside continuing to strengthen inclusive approaches so that every child feels a true sense of belonging and access to a high-quality education.
