What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 June 2023
The school's values are at the heart of everything that happens at Newton-on-Trent Church of England Primary School. These are commonly understood and applied. Pupils know why the values of honesty, love, peace, courage, kindness and respect are important. They say that these help them to learn and to get on well with each other. Pupils know that leaders expect them to 'aim high and enjoy the journey'. This is a happy school. Relationships between staff and pupils are consistently positive. Staff care for and nurture pupils. Pupils behave well. They enjoy being recognised for living out the school's values. They are proud of their values badges. They know that if they do something wrong, they are expected to 'make it right'. Pupils are proud of the roles and the responsibilities that they take on. Older pupils act as church school councillors, values ambassadors and monitors. They know that they are expected to set a positive example for younger pupils to follow. Pupils greet each other as they enter the church for collective worship. Playtimes are happy and sociable times. Pupils play cooperatively. They encourage each other. They make good use of the fitness trail, the peace corner and the wide range of play equipment available.
What the school should improve
- Some subjects are at an early stage of implementation. Quality assurance work and training have not yet been carried out. In these subjects, pupils' recall of what they have learned is inconsistent. Leaders should ensure that the curriculum is fully implemented and embedded and results in pupils consistently knowing and remembering curriculum content.
- Beyond phonics, the reading curriculum is not fully sequenced. It does not make clear which aspects of reading pupils are expected to master as they progress through school. Leaders should ensure that the reading curriculum is fully planned and sequenced, which will enable pupils to achieve even better.
- There are inconsistencies in how well governors know and carry out their responsibilities. The governing body does not check closely enough on how well disadvantaged pupils are getting on. Governors should ensure that they have a secure and consistent understanding of their roles and responsibilities, including in relation to disadvantaged pupils.
