What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 4 February 2025

The strong moral values of Lapworth CofE Primary School permeate through every aspect of the education it offers its pupils. These values are shared and lived out each day by the pupils and staff at the school. The school has high expectations for all its pupils, and they achieve well. Pupils enjoy coming to school, and they feel safe. They say behaviour is good at Lapworth, and they are right. Pupils are proud of their various leadership roles, and they take their responsibilities seriously. Older pupils are role models for younger pupils through their roles as 'maths ambassadors' and in their leadership of 'family groups'. The personal development of pupils is exceptional. Pupils have a mature, global view of the world and a deep understanding of fundamental British values. Everyone is genuinely welcome, and all are included in the life of the school. Through its charitable and ecological work, this is a small school making a big impact on its community and wider area.

What the school should improve

  • Some subjects are not as coherently well organised as others in terms of curriculum progression. Where this is the case, it impacts less favourably on what pupils know, remember and can do, as staff are unclear about what should be taught next. The school should ensure that the curriculum in all subjects is effectively sequenced so that staff deliver the curriculum well.
  • In the early years, the school's planned opportunities to deepen children's learning further are sometimes missed. In these cases, adults' questioning does not maximise children's learning. As a result, some children are not as secure in their understanding as they should be. The school should ensure that all staff have the knowledge to embed and deepen children's understanding more effectively.
