What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 June 2024
Since joining the federation, leaders have guided the school through a period of significant staffing and leadership changes. The school is now in a more stable position. Together, staff and governors are determined for all pupils to be successful. The curriculum has been strengthened to ensure high expectations are in place for pupils. This work is making a difference to the quality of education. However, it is early days. Pupils do not yet build their knowledge well across the curriculum. Langford Budville Church of England Primary School is a place where everyone is included. The school has created an environment that makes pupils feel safe and welcome. High-quality pastoral support is integral to the school's work. This includes 'Sid' and 'Marley', the dogs who are well-love members of the school community. The school is at the heart of the community. For example, pupils have made bug hotels and bird boxes for the village. A café is set up in the village hall for pupils to show case their work. Pupils' personal development is a strength of the school. Meaningful visits enhance the curriculum. For example, pupils visit Paignton Zoo to enrich their learning in science.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, teachers are not following the intended curriculum closely enough. As a result, pupils are not building on or remembering what they are taught. The school must ensure the designed curriculum is followed with precision to enable all pupils to learn well across the curriculum.
- Assessment is not yet effective across the curriculum to check what pupils know and remember. Some pupils have unknown gaps in their knowledge. The school must ensure that assessment is effective across subjects to check what pupils know and remember.
- Some pupils are not supported well enough to grasp the basics of reading. As a result, these pupils do not become confident, fluent readers quickly. The school must ensure that pupils get the support they need to learn to read successfully.
