What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 16 July 2024

Pupils thrive at Little Sutton Primary School. They are treated as individuals and each pupil's strengths are known and developed by staff. This means pupils feel confident to be themselves. Pupils love coming to school and are enthusiastic about learning. Pupils feel proud that they are part of a school family where everyone wants to 'Learn, Strive and Succeed' together. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), meet the school's high expectations and achieve exceptionally well in all subjects. This includes in reading, writing and mathematics, where their outcomes in national assessments are well above average. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They have warm, trusting relationships with adults and as a result pupils want to behave well. In the classrooms pupils listen carefully to the teachers and to each other. Pupil play-leaders help to ensure that playtimes are purposeful and happy. Younger pupils have an older buddy in school who looks after them. Pupils are confident that the 'FAB' leaders (friends against bullying) will make sure that no child is ever left out or feels alone. Pupils' manners are particularly notable. They greet adults, visitors and other pupils with great courtesy and very high levels of respect.
