What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 May 2023
Pupils are extremely proud of their school. They are excited about sharing their experiences of Baschurch CofE Primary School. Leaders have created an environment where every child feels valued and well cared for. Leaders have high expectations for pupils' behaviour. They have created 'The Baschurch Way'. This sets out the Christian values of respect, responsibility, perseverance, kindness and forgiveness. All pupils and adults across school exemplify these values. Leaders have high aspirations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They link pupils' learning to their interests when planning the curriculum. Pupils achieve well as a result. Pupils are given a range of responsibilities. The 'playground stars' set up playtime activities and help younger pupils. Pupils raise money for local causes. They know how to be a good citizen. Every pupil is part of a house team. These are named after the continents of the world. They learn about how people live in each continent. They share this information with each other. As a result, pupils know about cultures that are different to their own. Parents and carers are highly supportive of the school. Many feel that the school is part of their extended family within the community.
What the school should improve
- Leaders' assessment systems are inconsistent in some foundation subjects. As a result, leaders do not accurately assess what pupils know and remember in some subjects. Leaders need to ensure that assessment systems are consistent so that they can accurately assess pupils' knowledge.
- Some subject leaders do not evaluate the impact of their subject sufficiently well. This means they do not know how well the curriculum is implemented or its impact on pupils. Leaders should develop their approach to evaluating the impact of the curriculum.
