What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 24 October 2023

Pupils are proud of Pebworth First School and are happy to attend. It is a small school at the heart of the community. Pupils take an active role in their wider community, whether it be hosting a harvest lunch or their involvement in Pebworth in Bloom. Pupils say behaviour is good at Pebworth and they are right. Older pupils are role models and care for younger pupils. All pupils say that they feel safe and know who to go to if they feel worried. Pupils live out the school's vision of 'CARE'; community, aspiration, respect and excellence are values that help pupils to build positive relationships. Staff know each pupil extremely well, and as a result relationships between staff and pupils are very strong. The school has high expectations for pupils and these ambitions are realised. Pupils achieve well because their needs are met by dedicated staff. The school has risen to the challenge of designing an ambitious curriculum that meets the needs of mixed-aged classes.

What the school should improve

  • In some foundation subjects, the new curriculum is not fully embedded. This means that some pupils have gaps in their knowledge and do not have an understanding of the key concepts that are needed in order to build on new knowledge. The school should identify the missed essential knowledge and learning and address these gaps.
  • In some subject areas, leaders do not have a full understanding of the content and sequencing of the new curriculum. As a result, staff are not always clear on what learning comes next in the curriculum sequence for these subjects. The school should ensure that leaders have the knowledge to support staff to implement the curriculum effectively in these subjects.
