What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 May 2023
Pupils at Cheveley Primary love their school. It is small, friendly and welcoming. Everyone knows everyone else. Pupils feel confident and happy at school. They are not worried about bullying and how other pupils behave. They know that staff and leaders will take action to help them if they are ever worried about anything. Pupils know that staff look after them well. Pupils enjoy the school's environment, particularly the outdoor spaces. For example, they love to play on the extensive fixed play apparatus on the field. Older and younger pupils play happily together, enjoying their time with their friends. Pupils know that the staff want them to do well at school. Pupils work hard and do their best. They follow the school's rules and behave well in their classrooms. This helps pupils to learn a lot during their time at Cheveley Primary. Pupils gradually learn to take on more responsibilities as they move through the school. The oldest pupils act as 'buddies' for children in the Reception Year, reading them stories and looking out for them at playtimes. Pupils are ready for the challenges of secondary school by the time they get to the end of Year 6.
What the school should improve
- The curriculum is not optimally planned and delivered. As a result, pupils do not achieve as highly as they could. Leaders should fine-tune the curriculum, and how it is delivered, so that the school provides an exceptional quality of education that enables all pupils to achieve consistently highly across all subjects and pupils with SEND to achieve exceptionally well.
