What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 3 June 2025

Pupils love attending Chilcote Primary School. They are happy and well cared for here. They know that there are trusted adults they can go to if they are worried or concerned. The school's values permeate all that the school does. Pupils develop a deep understanding of 'respect, inclusion and togetherness'. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They build incredibly positive relationships with one another and with staff. Pupils listen attentively and show high levels of respect. There are no distractions to learning. The school has very high aspirations for pupils' achievement. Pupils work diligently to rise to these aspirations. They achieve exceptionally high standards in some subjects, including reading, writing and mathematics, by the time they leave the school. They are well equipped for their future learning. Pupils engage excitedly with lessons and the many enrichment activities on offer. The school provides a wealth of varied activities and visits. These carefully link to pupils' learning and broaden their experiences beyond the local community. Pupils enjoy many residential trips that help develop their resilience and teamwork. The school provides a wide variety of after-school clubs that develop pupils' talents and interests brilliantly.

What the school should improve

  • Sometimes, teaching does not sufficiently identify and address errors that pupils make when they are learning to write. Some pupils make repeated errors that affect the accuracy and quality of their writing. The school should ensure that there is a consistent approach to identifying and addressing errors so that pupils achieve as well as they should.
  • In a small number of subjects, the school has not identified precisely the core knowledge and skills that pupils need to know and remember. In these subjects, pupils struggle to understand what they have been taught and make links between concepts they have studied. The school should ensure that the curriculum in all subjects sets out precisely what pupils should know and when so that pupils develop a secure and deep body of knowledge across the whole curriculum.
