What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 November 2022
Staff at Leckhampton Church of England Primary School provide a high level of care for pupils. From early years through to Year 6, staff develop highly respectful, positive relationships with pupils. Pupils and parents joining the school say it is like joining a family. The headteacher is ambitious for pupils. She has high expectations of them all. Pupils study a well-constructed curriculum. Based on its founding Christian principles, the school offers an exceptional programme of activities to develop pupils' personal qualities. Staff insist on pupils giving their best effort in all subjects and activities. In their lessons and around the school, pupils' behaviour is exemplary. From the beginning of Reception Year, pupils diligently follow the routines set by their teachers. Consequently, the vast majority of learning is uninterrupted by distractions. Bullying is extremely rare. Leaders deal with it rapidly and effectively if it does happen. Pupils are encouraged to be 'agents of change' by using their talents to help others. They go out of their way to make sure their peers feel included in school life. Pupils feel very happy and safe at this school.
What the school should improve
- The new system for assessing pupils' work is not fully established. Consequently, subject leaders' understanding of how well pupils are learning is not consistent across the school. Leaders need to make sure that the assessment system is developed further.
- The school's new strategy for teaching early reading is not implemented consistently for those pupils who need to catch up. This hinders the progress of a small number of pupils. Leaders should ensure that the new phonics strategy is embedded in the practice of all staff.
