Compton All Saints Church of England Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 6 June 2023

This is a nurturing village school. The culture is palpably positive and inclusive. Pupils are consistently respectful of each other and of staff, and live out the school's values of 'honesty, compassion and gratitude'. This starts in the early years. Pupil behaviour is excellent. They display consistently high levels of self-control in and around school. All accept and embrace that everyone is unique, and value diversity and difference. Older pupils act as buddies and are eager to offer support to their peers in their work and play. Bullying is not tolerated and is dealt with swiftly by leaders. Pupils feel safe and able to seek help from adults should they need it. Pupils are curious and show a willingness to learn. They know the adults have high expectations of them. Pupils try hard and achieve well. Their achievements are celebrated when pupils, parents and staff come together as a community for an assembly on Fridays. Here, pupils are recognised for their efforts and for exemplifying the school's values. As one parent told inspectors, 'There is a strong sense of community and a feeling of belonging' at this school.

What the school should improve

• In some subjects, teachers do not check on or support pupils' retention of key learning as effectively as they might. Pupils are not always able to recall and use prior learning. Leaders should ensure that teachers are clear what pupils should know and remember in each subject and how best to ensure that they do.
