What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 July 2022
Leaders have worked tirelessly to improve Chapel St Leonards Primary School. Their mantra is that the school must 'open doors' for pupils. They have high expectations of what pupils can achieve. They are determined to give pupils the education and experiences they need to be well prepared for the next stage in their education and for life in modern Britain. Pupils are excellent advocates for the school. From the youngest pupil to the oldest, they give their ideas and opinions with confidence. Pupils only have positive things to say about their school. They know that their teachers expect them to behave well so that everyone can learn and get on together. Teachers insist that pupils fully participate in lessons. If a pupil is not paying close attention, teachers gently remind them to join in. Pupils show high levels of respect for every member of staff, and each other. Pupils know what bullying is. They know that they should tell an adult if bullying happens. Pupils are sure that an adult will help them if they use the 'ask-it basket' or 'worry monster' to share their concerns. The trust, governors and staff are all rightly proud of the positive learning environment leaders have established.
What the school should improve
- Assessment in the foundation subjects is not fully developed. Teachers do not systematically check that pupils remember prior learning in these subjects. As a result, gaps in pupils' knowledge are not always identified. Leaders must ensure that an effective approach is designed and implemented, while not significantly adding to teachers' workload.
- Some curriculum leaders have not had the training they need to become subject experts. They do not have the skills they need to support colleagues as effectively as they could. Leaders should ensure that curriculum leaders have opportunities to receive subject-specific professional development.
