What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 31 January 2024

Cubbington CofE Primary School sits at the heart of the community. It is a happy, safe and fun place to be. Each day pupils try hard to live out the school motto of 'achieving, belonging, caring'. The school sets high expectations for pupils' behaviour. Pupils are polite and courteous. They are caring and respectful towards others. Pupils enjoy playing with their friends and taking part in sports activities led by skilled adults. They know that staff listen to and act on any worries or concerns they have. The school sets high academic standards for all pupils. Classrooms are places where pupils are attentive and think hard. Pupils are keen and enthusiastic learners. They achieve well. Older pupils take on leadership roles such as playleaders and well- being ambassadors. They help pupils to play well together and to be kind to one another. Pupils take part in a variety of clubs on offer, including an orchestra and art and sports clubs. All this helps pupils to broaden their horizons and develop their talents and interests. Parents are overwhelmingly positive about the school. The comment of one parent was typical of many when they said that 'pupils build effective learning habits and strive to be the best they can'.

What the school should improve

  • The school has not ensured that staff consistently make effective checks on pupils' learning. This means that some pupils do not get timely support to build their understanding, correct their misconceptions and improve their work. The school should ensure that all staff consistently check how well pupils are learning, particularly those who need to catch up, so that they make the progress of which they are capable.
  • The curriculum in the early years is not clearly set out. This means that, sometimes, staff have to decide what it is the children should know and remember because curriculum plans do not always identify the important knowledge and skills that children will need for future success. The school should support subject leaders to enable them to have a clear understanding of learning and development in the early years.
