What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 14 May 2024

Great Witley CofE Primary School is a delightful place to be. Teachers are excellent role models for pupils. They have high expectations for pupils' achievements and provide frequent opportunities for pupils to think hard and learn well. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They speak respectfully and politely to adults and to each other. Pupils look out for each other. Mental health champions provide a listening ear and a quiet spot for other pupils who need a chat. Older pupils are also play leaders and house captains. This helps to promote the family feel of the school. Pupils take on positions of responsibility such as 'CREW', school council and the sustainability group. Pupils take these responsibilities seriously and take the opportunity to improve the life of the school. Pupils and adults model the school's 'STARS' values exceptionally well. For example, staff trust even the youngest children to take responsibility for doing the right thing without being asked. As a result, pupils are kind to each other and put things right if they go wrong. The school promotes 'courageous advocacy' and listens to pupils when they raise issues that affect them. For example, pupils have raised issues about recycling, food waste and outdoor learning, and staff have helped pupils to respond to these. The responsiveness of leaders helps pupils learn about the importance of speaking up and speaking out in the right way.
