What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 May 2024
Feckenham C of E Primary School lives by its values - everyone is welcome. The school is very much part of the community. The staff know pupils as individuals and take good care of their well-being. Pupils know that adults will listen to them if they have a concern. This means that they feel safe. The school sets high expectations for the standard of pupils' work and behaviour, including for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff quickly forge strong relationships with pupils. Pupils behave well and get on with their learning. They play happily at social times. Pupils enjoy school and attend regularly. Pupils settle into calm and orderly classroom routines from the early years. They quickly come to respect each other and cooperate. Their work is varied and interesting, and this helps them to concentrate in lessons and learn well. Trips and visitors to the school add further to their knowledge. For example, a visitor in a Viking costume taught pupils about runes and showed them Viking artefacts. All pupils are part of the school council, and they know that their voice is heard. Some pupils take part in after-school clubs, mostly related to sport.
What the school should improve
- There are some inconsistencies in how well the curriculum is implemented. Some learning activities do not support pupils to reach the intended learning outcome as well as they should. In addition, the new longer-term assessment arrangements are not yet embedded to provide teachers with a clear understanding of which concepts pupils find more difficult, and therefore need greater focus. As a result, some pupils' learning is not as effective as it could be. The school should ensure that the curriculum is implemented consistently well, and that assessment procedures are fully embedded in order that pupils achieve the highest possible outcomes.
