What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 April 2025
Pupils at Lewannick embody the school's expectation to 'be the best you!' They strive to meet the high ambition set for them in their learning and development. This is because the school fosters their confidence, determination and enthusiasm to learn. Parents and carers overwhelmingly agree that their children thrive at the school. Pupils arrive each day with a smile on their face. They appreciate that they belong to a friendly and welcoming community where they feel safe and happy. Pupils interact well across the age ranges. They support and encourage each other to meet the school's high expectations of their behaviour in social times and in learning. The school community is a hive of positive and purposeful energy which leads to pupils achieving well. The school prioritises widening pupils' horizons beyond their local community. Pupils talk animatedly about the enrichment opportunities that the school provides for them. These increase their awareness of the wider world around them. Activities include highly successful participation in sporting events such as cross country and team sports festivals. Pupils also benefit greatly from trips and visitors into school. These enhance their learning and equip them well to follow the aspirations that the school encourages.
What the school should improve
- The school's offer, in some aspects of its practice, is not fully embedded. This means that there is not a fully shared and implemented way of working to get the very best from pupils across the school. The school needs to refine and fully embed its recent work to strengthen the curriculum and provision for its pupils so that staff can make the most impact on pupils' learning and development and achieve the best possible outcomes.
- The school's teaching of writing is not as effective as it could be. This means that, at times, some pupils may not make the progress in writing that they could. The school should ensure that it provides staff with the knowledge and expertise that they need to be fully clear about how opportunities to develop and extend pupils' writing can be maximised.
