What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 21 March 2023

Pupils are very enthusiastic about coming to Peover Superior Primary School. Those who spoke with inspectors said that they feel safe and happy there. They talked about how it is reassuring to have a trusted adult who will help them if they have any worries. Relationships between staff and pupils are very warm and friendly. Leaders' expectations for pupils' work and behaviour are high. Pupils respond extremely well to these expectations. They work hard and show highly positive attitudes to their learning. Pupils and children in the early years achieve exceptionally well. Pupils' behaviour is excellent. They focus closely on their learning when they are in class and they move about the school in a very sensible and orderly way. Bullying is rare. Leaders have a very effective approach to reporting and dealing with any bullying that does occur. Pupils benefit from a vast range of activities which leaders provide to enhance their experience of school. For example, there are a wide variety of clubs which help them to develop their talents and interests. These include sports clubs, such as boccia and basketball, and other activities, such as gardening. Pupils also enjoy debating various topics, such as democracy.
