What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 May 2024

Pupils at Chapel Allerton Primary School are happy and confident. Staff help children in the early years become resilient so they are able to take on new challenges. Pupils support one another in lessons by being 'Learning Partners'. Because pupils are hard- working, collaborative and determined, they experience success on a daily basis. Over time, achievement at the school has improved. Leaders are ambitious for future developments. Staff share this ambition and are proud to be part of a thriving school community. Pupils behave with maturity. They show respect for one another. Bullying is rare. Pupils are encouraged to sort out small problems themselves but know there is always an adult there to help them stay safe. Older pupils are strong role models for their younger peers. They eagerly take on responsibilities as 'Reading Leaders' or as members of the 'Language Ambassadors'. These roles enable them to contribute to positive change in school and the wider local community. The school wants all pupils to become successful citizens of tomorrow. Leaders plan opportunities that broaden pupils' horizons. These include cultural visits, talks from inspirational individuals and opportunities to debate important topics. As a result, pupils understand and appreciate the world around them better. The school motto of 'Nurturing a lifelong love of learning' is threaded through everyday life at the school.

What the school should improve

  • In some lessons, adaptations to the curriculum, particularly for pupils with SEND, are not as effective as they might be. This means that some pupils are not benefiting from the school's ambitious curriculum offer. The school should ensure that adaptations in lessons are highly effective for all pupils and that the impact of these changes are closely monitored.
