Compton CofE Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 4 March 2025

Pupils enjoy a very positive school culture. They are encouraged to take on responsibilities. House captains play their part in promoting good behaviour. In assemblies, pupils learn about values, such as perseverance and community. They put these into practice. The school benefits from ample outdoor space. Playtime is supervised well and managed fairly. Everyone is included in active play. Different groups of pupils take turns to use sports pitches and play equipment. Many pupils get involved in sports teams and events such as the half marathon. There are rich opportunities for children in the early years to develop their physical and social skills. The school makes skilful and creative use of its resources. Regardless of their different starting points, the children learn and develop while having great fun. Pupils and families place high value on the pastoral support they receive. This support helps them to overcome any difficulties, so that the children and pupils can focus on their education. The school is an aspirational place. Pupils' attitudes to learning are consistently strong. They know they are expected to aim high and many achieve very well.

What the school should improve

• Occasionally, the wider curriculum is not taught with the rigour and focus that the school intends. Some learning activities do not help pupils to learn and apply the most important subject knowledge. The school should ensure that learning activities consistently help pupils to learn the most relevant subject content.
