Cheadle Village Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 2 February 2023

Pupils enjoy school. Leaders and staff are highly ambitious for the achievement of all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and disadvantaged pupils. The academic, social and emotional support that leaders provide contribute strongly to how well pupils achieve. There is a tangible community feel to this school, with strong relationships between pupils and staff. Pupils feel safe and happy. They told the inspector that their friends and the staff look after them well. They have a good understanding of bullying. Leaders and staff deal with the few incidents swiftly and effectively. Teachers' high expectations for behaviour are clear. Pupils behave well. Classrooms are calm. This allows pupils to do their best in lessons. They are polite and well-mannered. They speak confidently and articulately with visitors. Pupils have a developed understanding of diversity and children's rights. They say this 'helps them develop respect and to take responsibility'. They revel in their responsibilities, for example as members of the school council. They enjoy the varied range of sports and games that sports ambassadors provide for them at lunchtime. A variety of visits and after-school activities enhance their learning across the curriculum.

What the school should improve

• In some subjects, teachers do not know in enough detail how successfully pupils are gaining knowledge and understanding. Leaders should ensure that, in these subjects, teachers gather sufficient information to identify and address gaps in learning so that pupils catch up and achieve well.
