What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 October 2023
Pupils are rightly proud of Lerryn CofE Primary School. The school motto, 'Small but mighty', is celebrated by the school community. One pupil said, 'We are a small school, but a giant family.' Staff develop strong, positive relationships with all pupils. This helps pupils to learn in a nurturing environment where they grow in confidence. The school has high expectations for all pupils to be successful. The trust has brought about rapid improvements to the curriculum to ensure that pupils learn with success. The trust has used the expertise of its leaders to support curriculum design and implementation. These actions are making a positive difference to the quality of education that pupils receive. Pupils and parents value the wider opportunities available to pupils. This is a strength of the school. Pupils enjoy extra-curricular clubs, such as sport and art clubs. They participate in regular events with other schools in the trust. These include sporting competitions and a range of residential visits that begin in Year 2. Pupils also take part in local community events, such as the 'harvest experience' at a local church.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the essential knowledge pupils need to know and remember is not identified with enough precision. As a result, pupils do not yet build their knowledge as well as they do in other subjects. The trust must ensure that the precise knowledge is identified and sequenced across all subjects and check that pupils are learning the curriculum well.
