Cheapside CofE Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 1 April 2025

Cheapside is a very happy, warm and welcoming school. Pupils enjoy learning here and rise to the high expectations set by staff. This is reflected in pupils' positive attitudes to learning and the quality of work they produce. They benefit from an enriched curriculum which includes high-quality outdoor learning and a range of visits and trips. Pupils take pride in celebrating their achievements. Positive relationships underpin the mutual trust and respect here. Parents and carers appreciate how 'staff go above and beyond' to support their child. As one rightly observed, 'Every child is nurtured and cared for on an individual basis, and nothing is too much trouble.' Pupils behave well and are polite and welcoming. They hold doors open for adults and cheerfully greet staff and visitors. They play and work together happily and look out for each other. As one pupil said, 'The best thing about our school is not just the facilities, but the kind staff and the friends we make here.' Year 6 pupils relish the opportunities to support younger children. Across the year groups, pupils proudly undertake leadership roles that helpfully contribute to the wider life of the school. These include responsibilities such as being inclusion ambassadors, well-being champions, playground equipment helpers and many others. All pupils are supported to flourish here.
