What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 March 2025
St Andrew's Junior School is a place where pupils work hard. Staff develop positive, caring relationships with pupils, and as a result, pupils feel safe. Pupils learn and follow the school rule of 'we care'. They learn to be compassionate and respectful individuals. The pupils show resilience in the face of change and adapt well to their temporary school. They enjoy learning and want to be in school. The school has high expectations for pupils. Pupils show a focused attitude to their learning and achieve well. The school teaches pupils to think for themselves. Pupils learn to solve problems and take on challenges. They are encouraged to help each other and work as a team. Pupils are praised for enjoying learning and not giving up when learning gets tricky. Pupils value the opportunities to 'let their light shine' with trips, performances and competitions, such as cross-country and the poetry slam. Outside the classroom, pupils take part in activities that build leadership and responsibility. They help in the community and learn the value of giving back. By the time they leave, pupils are well prepared for the next stage of education.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, particularly where they are newly developed, the curriculum is not being implemented the way it has been designed as well as it is in other subjects. This means pupils' misconceptions and errors in their work are not picked up quickly. As a result, pupils do not build on their prior learning. The school needs to ensure that staff develop their expertise, so they have the subject knowledge to teach all the curriculum consistently well.
