What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 June 2024
Cuckney CofE Primary School is a warm and welcoming place where pupils, leaders and staff are guided by the school's values of 'dream, believe, achieve'. Pupils feel safe, care about one another and treat each other with kindness and respect. They are happy, feel proud of their school and have positive attitudes to their learning. Staff have high expectations of what pupils can do and achieve. They are determined that all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), receive the support they need to thrive and achieve well. The school makes sure that pupils' achievements are celebrated. The 'achievement tree' is a visual demonstration of this. Pupils' achievements are written on a leaf and added to the tree, so that pupils see the tree 'grow' with their achievements and successes. Pupils enjoy many educational trips to places of interest, such as visits to museums and pantomimes and residential experiences. Most pupils listen well and sustain their concentration in lessons. Staff model the kindness and respect they expect pupils to show. Pupils are respectful and tolerant. They recognise and value different backgrounds, ethnicities, faiths, cultures and views. One pupil said, 'We are all different, but underneath we are the same and everyone is welcome here.'
What the school should improve
- The curriculum is consistently delivered in some foundation subjects. Teachers do not always check pupils' prior learning and identify gaps and misconceptions in their knowledge. The school must ensure that the delivery of the curriculum and assessment processes are effective in all subjects so that pupils learn as well as they should.
