What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 July 2024
Bishop Sutton Primary School is a school where pupils enjoy learning. The school's vision, 'where every child can dream, believe and achieve', can be seen through the ambitious curriculum. Pupils are engaged in their learning. They are well prepared for the next stage of their education. The school has high expectations for pupils' behaviour. Pupils are polite and well- mannered. They understand the school's one rule and do their best to 'be kind, be safe and be responsible'. There is a calm and purposeful environment in classrooms and around the school. Pupils follow instructions and listen well. Staff form trusting, caring relationships with pupils. As a result, pupils feel happy, safe and valued. They can talk to trusted adults if they have any concerns. Pupils learn how to stay safe online and in the wider community. This helps them feel confident for the transition to secondary school. Pupils enjoy taking on leadership responsibilities across the school. Older pupils recognise their position as role models to younger pupils. Book ambassadors ensure pupils' opinions are considered when the school purchases new books. The school council influences which charities the school supports. Pupils take these roles seriously and feel their voice is heard.
What the school should improve
- In some areas, the curriculum design is not implemented as intended. Pupils do not make links to previous learning. This makes it difficult for them to deepen their knowledge. The trust should ensure that pupils have opportunities to make links in their learning both within and across subjects to deepen their understanding across the full breadth of the curriculum.
