What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 15 October 2024
Newchurch Community Primary School is a happy, friendly place. Pupils are proud to be 'Newchurch Robins'. They are polite and considerate towards one another and staff. Pupils behave well in class and at breaktimes. Pupils benefit from staff knowing them very well as individuals. Across the school, staff treat pupils with kindness and respect. Staff are willing to help pupils and to listen to any concerns that they may have. This helps pupils to feel happy and safe. The school has high expectations for what pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), will learn. Pupils demonstrate the school's values of resilience, respect, responsibility, resourcefulness, reciprocity and reflection. Pupils learn what these values mean and why they are important. Pupils mostly achieve well and are well 'prepared to fly' by the time they move on to the next stage of their education. Pupils are proud of the positive contribution that they make to school life. They are enthusiastic about their many responsibilities. These include taking on roles like subject leaders, sports leaders and buddies. Older pupils particularly enjoy supporting children in the early years with their learning. They retell with fondness the many magical memories of their journey through school.
What the school should improve
- The school's approach to assessment in a few subjects is in the early stage of development. This means that there are some gaps in pupils' knowledge that are not addressed as effectively as they should be. The school should ensure that staff are equipped to swiftly identify and remedy these gaps in pupils' knowledge. This is so that pupils can build their knowledge and make sense of new information in these subjects more easily.
