All Saints Church of England Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 20 February 2024

All Saints is a welcoming school for all. The school values of achievement, respect, inclusion, support and enjoyment are threaded through the work of all staff. Pupils are well supported to understand and celebrate the diversity and inclusivity that exists within the school community. Pupils value the positive relationships they have with staff. They understand the expectations of behaviour and try hard to meet them. As a result, pupils feel safe and valued at school. Pupils are happy, respectful and proud of their learning. The school is determined for pupils to achieve highly. Pupils are taught an interesting curriculum and, overall, they learn well. As one parent said, 'The school has always done their upmost to make sure that my child has the tools and knowledge to better himself and strive towards his goals.' Well-being sits at the heart of many actions within the school. The 'Zen Den' provides a quiet space for pupils during break and lunchtimes. Pupils relish the wider opportunities that the school provides. Year 6 pupils speak positively about being a 'carer' and spend their lunchtimes helping younger pupils. Other pupils value the important roles they play in the student council to arrange charity events.

What the school should improve

• In some subjects, the activities that pupils complete are not always sharply matched to the intended learning. This means that pupils do not consistently learn as effectively as they could. The school should ensure that high-quality professional development supports all staff to provide pupils with precise instruction and practice.
• Staff checks of pupils' learning sometimes lack sufficient precision. This means that some pupils have gaps in their knowledge. The school needs to support staff to check pupils' understanding carefully and use this information to inform their teaching to address gaps in learning.
