What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 May 2024
Pupils flourish at this small village primary school, where every pupil is valued as an individual. Pupils love coming to school. They take pride in living up to the high expectations that are set for them. The Charlwood values of 'confident, valued, prepared and successful' are at the heart of these expectations. The experiences offered to pupils around leadership and independence are wide and varied. Behaviour in classes and during playtime is exemplary. Teachers have embedded clear routines, and pupils know what is expected of them. This starts right from the early years, where children show high levels of engagement in their learning. Pupils and staff are passionate about making everyone feel a part of the school community. This is strengthened through established links with the local community. Pupils are highly engaged in the curriculum, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). An extensive range of trips and experiences enhance pupils' learning. The school is currently in the process of refining parts of the curriculum. This is because in a few subjects there need to be clearer links between what pupils learn and how teachers can check that they have learned it. This is already well established in subjects such as reading, writing and mathematics.
What the school should improve
- The curriculum in some subjects is still being refined. This means that the specific knowledge and assessment criteria in these subjects are not yet clear enough. The school needs to continue the work it is doing in these subjects so that teachers know precisely what to teach and how to check if pupils are remembering this knowledge.
