What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 October 2024
Heddington Church of England Primary is a school where inclusivity shines through. Staff ensure that each pupil is considered in everything they do. This reflects the school's values, which include respect, trust and friendship. The warm and nurturing relationships between staff and pupils are special. Staff know and understand pupils' needs. As a result, pupils are happy and safe. They are extremely proud of their school and attend regularly. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary in lessons and during social times. They demonstrate high levels of respect and kindness towards one another. Pupils are exceptionally polite and well mannered. They accept each other's differences and show tolerance and empathy when their friends experience challenges. The school has high expectations for its pupils. Pupils are keen to learn and achieve well. In most subjects the school makes checks to find out what pupils know and can do. This supports pupils to build on their previous learning. However, in a few subjects this is not yet the case. The provision for pupils' wider development is outstanding. Pupils take pleasure in the rich opportunities on offer, such as music, drama and sports. These activities develop pupils' interests and talents. The school provides significant pastoral support to pupils and their families. Parents are delighted with the school and appreciate all that it does for them.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, the school has not fully established effective systems of assessment that check pupils' learning. Therefore, pupils do not remember some of the most important knowledge they need for their subsequent learning. The school must ensure that assessment is effective to support pupils to know more and remember more.
