What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 July 2024
Pupils are happy at Orchard Church of England Primary School. They are polite and respectful. The school's Christian values guide pupils in everything they do. Pupils know these values well and eagerly strive to earn rewards for demonstrating them. In lessons, pupils follow well-established routines and behave well. At playtimes, they play together in the pleasant outdoor space. Incidents of poor behaviour are exceptionally rare. Pupils feel safe in the school and trust the staff to deal with any problems quickly. The school has high expectations for what pupils, including those who are disadvantaged or with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), can achieve. The curriculum is broad and ambitious. Pupils enjoy learning and try hard in lessons. Most pupils achieve well. Children in the early years get off to a good start. They demonstrate curiosity and resilience as they learn and play in the well-planned learning environment. The school supports pupils' wider personal development well. There are opportunities for pupils to take on responsibilities as members of the school council, sports ambassadors, well-being ambassadors or eco-warriors. Pupils appreciate the range of clubs and activities that they can take part in, as well as the trips and visits the school offers.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the school has not identified precisely enough the important knowledge that pupils need to learn and remember. As a result, sometimes learning activities lack focus and learning does not support pupils to gain knowledge securely. The school needs to ensure that the curriculum identifies precisely what pupils should learn and remember, and that learning activities support them to do so.
