From the inspection on 21 January 2025
Pupils demonstrate 'respect, resilience and responsibility' at John Shelton Community Primary School. These values lie at the heart of the school's work. Pupils behave well, demonstrating positive attitudes towards their learning. The school has very high expectations for what pupils can achieve. All pupils work hard to meet these and achieve well. They leave the school well equipped for the challenges of secondary education. Pupils feel safe in this very inclusive school. Relationships are positive between adults and pupils.

Pupils celebrate difference and oppose any form of discrimination. They say that everyone is unique and treated equally. Pupils enjoy taking on leadership responsibilities across the school. They rightly say that their voice is heard. Pupils can influence positive change in the school. For example, members of the eco-club pick up litter on the school site. They lead a house recycling competition to teach pupils the importance of sustainability. The pupil parliament is elected by its peers through a democratic process. It organises events to raise money for a range of charities. Pupils are very proud of these important roles.
What the school should improve
- The school is still in the process of embedding its assessment procedures for foundation subjects. As a result, assessment is not consistently used to check that pupils have remembered the knowledge they have been taught and can make connections between their prior and current learning. The school should refine how assessment is used in these subjects to ensure pupils deepen their knowledge and understanding in these subjects.
