What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 25 March 2025

Pupils are proud to be part of East Crompton St George's Church of England School. They come to school happy to learn and spend time with their friends. Pupils know that the staff are there to support them and can speak to them when they have concerns. The school fosters a nurturing environment where pupils feel safe and valued. Pupils rise to live out the school's high expectations for their behaviour. Its 'star statements' ensure that pupils know how to conduct themselves each day. The school's focus on positive reinforcement helps pupils build strong morals and a sense of responsibility. There was a joyous buzz among pupils when they shared their learning. This was particularly evident when sharing their design and technology creations. Pupils are typically living out the school's high ambitions for their academic achievements. Trips out of school contribute well to pupils' learning. Pupils showed off proudly the 'Cranmer Cup', which was won as part of a trust sporting event. They enjoy spending time in the 'immersive room', where pupils are transported around the world and to events in the past. It helps expand their curriculum experiences and gives sensory support to pupils who need it. These activities not only enhance their academic learning but also promote social skills and teamwork.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, the school does not have an overview of how well pupils are learning the intended key knowledge over time. This means that, sometimes, pupils do not develop a deep understanding and are unable to connect their prior knowledge to new learning. The school should ensure that approaches to assessment identify accurately where pupils need to revisit prior learning, so that pupils retain key knowledge and build on their learning over time.
  • Some of the adaptations to learning for pupils with SEND are not effective. On occasion, some pupils with SEND do not make as much progress as they could. The school should ensure that support for pupils with SEND is as effective as possible so that they learn more.
