What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 April 2024
Chew Stoke Church School has a vision for pupils to be 'confident in learning and caring in life.' Pupils realise this ambition. They talk with enthusiasm and knowledge about their learning. Pupils are kind to each other. Children in Reception Year happily take turns and use their manners. Pupils benefit from this nurturing environment. Many parents and carers comment on how staff 'go over and above.' The school is committed to all aspects of pupils' development. Pupils learn new skills through their participation in a range of extra-curricular activities. For example, choir, Korean club, multisport and drama. Pupils broaden their cultural knowledge through an exciting global link with a school in Uganda. Pupils share letters, engage in collective worship and have raised money to fund a new classroom block for the Ugandan school. Pupils make a positive contribution to their school community. Many older pupils become buddies who support younger children. The school's Worship, Ethos and Equality team actively promote the school's values. The role of associate governor in Year 6 is highly sought after. They seek the views of pupils and staff before sharing ideas for improvements with leaders, including governors. Leaders listen to these ideas and have made some of the suggested changes.
What the school should improve
- Teachers' use of assessment does not check pupils' understanding or their ability to apply their knowledge carefully enough. Therefore, some misconceptions or gaps in pupils' knowledge of the curriculum persist. The school should ensure that assessment identifies the areas that pupils need to re-visit, so they develop a secure understanding of the curriculum.
