What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 November 2023
This is a successful, well-led school, where pupils and staff flourish. There is a warm, family atmosphere, where everyone 'believes and achieves' together. Pupils say that the best thing about the school is the caring staff. Pupils are happy and enjoy being here. The school has the highest expectations for all. Leaders have created an environment where everyone gets the support they need to thrive. Pupils work hard in lessons and achieve well. Pupils' behaviour and attitudes are exceptional. Pupils encourage each other, and relationships are strong. Pupils play happily together in the playground. Pupils feel that school is safe and free from bullying. They know they can share any worries with a trusted adult, who will help them. Pupils agree that there is always someone to look after them. The school values of love, respect and friendship provide powerful and consistent reminders of what is important at Anson CofE Primary. Pupils have many and varied opportunities to contribute to the life of the school and the wider community. They can become monitors or part of various councils. Children in Reception have special jobs in the classroom. Older pupils really care about their younger 'prayer partners' and check on them at playtimes.
What the school should improve
- The school has not yet securely embedded some aspects of the curriculum in a small number of foundation subjects. In these subjects, pupils do not have the depth of knowledge that leaders intend through the ambitious curriculum. The school should continue to embed the planned refinements to support pupils to remember important knowledge and further develop their skills in these subjects.
