What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 December 2024
Pupils enjoy attending this caring and nurturing school. They thrive at this school and benefit from everything the school has to offer. The school's vision of 'Space to learn, grow and achieve' is central to life at Chartridge Combined School. All staff want the very best for every pupil. Pupils rise to these expectations and are very proud of the school. They rightly describe it as 'fun', 'fabulous' and 'spectacular'. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. From the beginning of early years, children settle into school routines quickly. There are respectful relationships throughout the school, between pupils of all ages and between pupils and adults. Bullying is rare. Pupils know that adults are always on hand to help, should they need them or if there are instances of unkindness. Pupils behave impeccably around the school and in lessons. Pupils talk with great enthusiasm about the many activities available to them both in and out of the classroom. They enjoy clubs such as yoga, drama and football. The school makes great use of the local environment to bring learning to life, for example in the school allotment and the surrounding countryside. These opportunities help pupils connect their learning to the wider world.
What the school should improve
- The school's curriculum thinking, including its assessment of pupils' learning, is not as well developed in a few subjects. This means that teaching does not consistently emphasise these key points and then help pupils to link them to prior learning. The school must continue the work on curriculum and ensure that it is as effective in all subjects as it is in the strongest.
