What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 December 2022
All Saints is a thriving school. Staff aim for every child to find enjoyment, happiness and friendship. Pupils are happy, enjoy school life and make strong friendships. The school is federated with a local school, St Margaret's, and is a proud member of a trust. These partnerships have helped strengthen the school further. All leaders, governors and trustees have the highest expectations of pupils. As a result of effective joint working, the curriculum is continually developed. However, some aspects of the curriculum are quite new. There is further work to do in ensuring the most important and useful knowledge is set out in teachers' plans. Behaviour is a key strength of the school. Pupils raised no concerns about bullying. Older pupils are proud to support their younger peers during the school day. Pupils are keen to win tokens for their houses and collect prestigious badges for making good choices. Parents who inspectors spoke to and received feedback from were overwhelmingly positive about school life and the leadership of the school. One parent stated that the school 'is a wonderful, caring environment, with a family feel'. This sentiment was shared by many other staff and parents.
What the school should improve
- There are limited opportunities for staff to receive feedback on their phonics teaching or share one another's practice. As a result, staff are not routinely benefiting from sharing the most effective approaches to teaching. Leaders should work with staff to identify the optimum ways to provide feedback and share best practice.
- Further work is required to identify the most important knowledge that pupils are taught in aspects of the wider curriculum. Some pupils are not yet fully able to talk confidently about the key knowledge that they are acquiring. Leaders should continue to refine plans and assure themselves that the content most important for future learning is remembered and used by pupils.
