What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 July 2022
Pupils delight in Curdridge's friendly atmosphere. It is a small school with a big heart. Everyone knows each other and pupils go out of their way to make anyone new feel welcome. Pupils are cheerful. They know that adults will keep them safe, placing their trust in the caring staff. The well-considered curriculum engages pupils. Leaders expect the very best from everyone. Teachers instil noble qualities in pupils. In return, pupils are motivated and work hard. The 'challenge board' in the hall is the pinnacle of pupils' efforts. They are proud of their work on show as well as their positive contributions to the annual village 'Curdridge Show'. Because pupils are friendly, nobody is worried about bullying. Pupils know that they must treat others respectfully. If not, adults are on hand to correct and educate. Leaders really consider how to shape pupils' character. There is a focus on ensuring pupils are confident and articulate when they leave Year 6. The Southampton civic award supports this by teaching pupils about public service. Pupils show tremendous competitive spirit in playing against much bigger schools. The school's outdoor grounds capture pupils' interest. They love to play and explore.
What the school should improve
- The implementation of the curriculum is not consistently strong across all subjects. This sometimes arises when pupils are learning independently. Some activity choices do not always help pupils to develop a depth of knowledge. Leaders need to continue supporting teachers to expertly deliver all aspects of the curriculum so that pupils know and remember more in every subject.
