What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 January 2025
The school stands at the heart of Egginton and surrounding areas; it is the focal point of life in the community. Pupils sing at local events, attend festivals and deliver dramatic performances. This helps to build their confidence and displays their talents. These experiences enhance pupils' learning and strengthen the bond between the school and the community. Pupils feel safe and happy at the school. They behave well. They follow the school's 'seven golden rules' that are known by all. Pupils adore attending and thrive in a nurturing and supportive environment. The school's increasing popularity reflects the dedication and care of the staff. Leaders possess a clear vision and hold high expectations of pupils' behaviour, attendance and achievement. This vision aligns with the school's motto, 'to be all I can be'. From the moment children start at the school, they receive the care, guidance and support needed to realise this vision and ambition. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well from their starting points. Parents and carers deeply value the attention given to each child's well-being and development. One view, which is typical of many states: 'This is a fantastic school, which is family oriented.'
What the school should improve
- Pupils can occasionally struggle to recall aspects of previous learning in some subjects. Prior knowledge is not revisited frequently enough. This limits pupils' ability to build on prior learning. The school should further refine its approaches to revisiting prior learning to strengthen pupils' memory and deepen their understanding so pupils can achieve highly in all subjects.
- Pupils' standards of writing vary between their compositions in English and in other subjects. As a result, pupils are not consistently applying their skills across a range of writing genres as well as they could. Pupils' standards of presentation and handwriting are similarly not at the same standard across the wider curriculum. The school should review the curriculum for writing across all subjects to raise standards further.
