What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 September 2024
Pupils thrive in this welcoming and nurturing school. Close relationships and care are at the heart of everything. The inclusive culture in this school is palpable. All staff have a high ambition for what all pupils can achieve. Typically, pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well across the curriculum. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. Staff are excellent role models for pupils. Children in the Nursery and Reception classes settle into school exceptionally well. Pupils follow the two school rules, 'try hard' and 'be nice', conscientiously. Playtimes are busy and fun. Pupils feel safe. They love receiving 'rainbow certificates' during celebration assembly for demonstrating the school values. Pupils' learning is enhanced by a rich variety of experiences. For example, during the inspection, Chertsey Museum visited Year 1 pupils. Pupils learned about similarities and differences between toys from the 1960s and today. Pupils at this school are curious and want to learn. Parents and carers are unwaveringly supportive of the school. Children are happy here. As one parent wrote, 'Everyone in this school always has a smile on their face.' Ottershaw Christ Church Church of England Infant School is a very special place for pupils to start their educational journey.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the school's ambitious intention for the curriculum is not implemented consistently well. At times, in these subjects, task design does not match to the school's intent well enough. This slows pupils' learning. The school should continue their work in supporting teachers to develop the knowledge they need to deliver the curricular aims, so that learning in all subjects matches the high standards seen elsewhere in the curriculum.
- In a few foundation subjects, the school has not identified well enough the most important knowledge that pupils need to remember over time. This means that pupils do not make connections to past learning as well as they could in these subjects. The school should ensure that teachers are clear about what pupils need to remember and use this to inform their teaching and assessment so that pupils learn exceptionally well across the whole curriculum.
