What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 21 July 2022

Pupils form friendships quickly at Bunny Church of England Primary School. It is a warm and welcoming learning community. Pupils are kind, respectful and well behaved. They look out for each other. Pupils feel safe and well cared for. They feel comfortable speaking to an adult if they are worried. Bullying is very rare. Pupils know that if it occurs, teachers will deal with it firmly and thoughtfully. Lessons help pupils to develop the school's 'treasures' of love, honesty, respect, courage, aspiration and peace. These values are woven into the school's ambitious curriculum. Pupils, staff, parents and carers work well together to bring these to life. At this school, reading is celebrated and books are 'treasured'. Pupils enjoy reading together during their 'reading for pleasure' sessions. Older pupils help younger pupils to practise and improve their reading. Pupils enjoy a range of experiences and extra-curricular activities that the school provides. This includes singing, construction club, forest school, mindfulness club and 'spaghetti maths'. Pupils develop their confidence by performing together. Pupils and parents value the school's sense of community.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, assessment is at an early stage of development. It does not help teachers to check closely on what pupils know and remember. Leaders should ensure that assessment is used consistently, across all subjects, to identify gaps in pupils' learning and to inform teaching.
  • In some subjects, the curriculum does not make clear the most important content that pupils are expected to know and remember. This does not help pupils to know the school's curriculum sufficiently in all subjects. Leaders should ensure that all subjects clearly outline the most important knowledge that pupils are expected to know and remember from early years to Year 6.
