What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 15 November 2022
At Offwell Church of England Primary school, pupils learn to 'Be well, Learn well and Live well'. From the moment that children join the pre-school, they begin to develop the behaviours that will help them to be successful learners later. Pupils build habits that will stand them in good stead. For example, they attend school regularly. Pupils develop good character. They are polite and considerate of others. There is little bullying but when it does happen, leaders tackle it effectively. Pupils get the support they need to resolve any conflict. They show kindness to one another and make lasting friendships. There are trusting relationships between pupils and staff. Pupils are happy to approach staff with any concerns about themselves or others. This helps everyone to feel cared for and safe. Many pupils take on leadership roles within the school. There is an active school council, as well as the opportunity to lead as a house captain, librarian or member of the environmental club. Through links with other local schools, pupils get involved in sports tournaments. There are also smaller clubs and interest groups through which pupils develop their talents, such as the construction club or bell ringing group.
What the school should improve
- Leaders have not checked that pupils learn the intended curriculum in every subject. In a few subjects, pupils do not know or remember as much as they could. Leaders should ensure that pupils acquire detailed knowledge of each subject.
- There is inconsistency in how well leaders' ambitions for pupils with SEND are realised in practice. Some pupils with SEND could achieve more if staff expected more of them. Leaders should ensure that all pupils with SEND gain the knowledge and skills they need to take full advantage of the opportunities in later life.
