What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 23 May 2023

Pupils enjoy attending their welcoming school. They feel happy and well looked after. This is because the whole school community embrace the school's values of love, courage and respect. Pupils are encouraged to hold high aspirations and talk about their hopes for their future, in terms of education and employment. Leaders assert that they set no glass ceiling for Andrews' pupils, and this is felt by all. As a result, pupils achieve well and develop a thirst for learning. Leaders set extremely high expectations for pupils' behaviour. They promote clear routines, set in a positive culture. Pupils behave exceptionally well. They are highly attentive in lessons and work hard. During break times, pupils of all ages play happily together. Adults rarely need to intervene and, if they do, it is in a gentle and nurturing way. When pupils represent the school at external events, their impeccable behaviour is frequently noticed and complimented. The school's 'buddy' system creates connections between pupils of different ages. The oldest and youngest children greet each other with delight during their regular 'buddy' sessions. They build strong relationships through their shared time together. Older pupils fondly remember how their buddies helped them and made them feel welcome.

What the school should improve

  • In a small number of subjects, the essential learning has not been clearly identified. Consequently, pupils are not able to build on prior learning as effectively as they might. Leaders should be clear about the specific knowledge they want pupils to learn across the curriculum, so that pupils know and remember more.
  • In Reception, teaching staff do not consistently support children well in their conversation. This means that children do not always have opportunities to discuss their learning. Leaders should ensure that all staff know how to support children with their communication and language development.
