What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 20 February 2024
Bampton Church of England Primary School is a welcoming school. It is at the heart of the local community. The ethos of the school is rooted in the values of 'Believe, Belong, Become.' Staff have high expectations of everyone. Pupils are proud of their school and are keen to share their learning with visitors. The school has a renewed focus on attendance. Most pupils attend well and are punctual. The relationships between staff and pupils are warm. Pupils are safe. They know that a trusted adult will help them if they have any worries. Pupils understand the school rules and behave well. Pupils take part in a range of enrichment opportunities. These are carefully planned to support and build on areas of the curriculum. For example, older pupils visit the Houses of Parliament to learn about democracy. Pupils develop their talents and interests through extra-curricular clubs and activities. These include computing and film club. They enjoy representing their school in sporting competitions. Pupils take on leadership roles, such as being school councillors and members of the ethos committee. Through such experiences, pupils develop a sense of responsibility and compassion.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the way in which the curriculum is taught does not support pupils to build their knowledge securely. As a result, pupils do not develop and retain a firm understanding of key subject ideas and concepts. The school should support teachers to develop their pedagogical understanding so that pupils learn the curriculum as intended.
- In some subjects, what is known about pupils' understanding of the curriculum is not used to make necessary adaptations. Therefore, gaps in pupils' knowledge are not promptly addressed. The school should ensure that assessment is used to inform teaching, so that it supports pupils to build their knowledge cumulatively in all subjects.
