What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 6 December 2022

Reepham Church of England Primary School is a happy school. Pupils do very well, right from the start. Pupils love attending the school and enjoy learning. Pupils say they feel safe at this school. Leaders ensure the school's core values (respect, forgiveness, love, responsibility, cooperation and friendship) are at the heart of everything that pupils do. All staff embed these values into pupils' experiences. This means pupils develop as kind, respectful and self-confident learners. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. Occurrences of unkindness are very rare. Pupils are confident that teachers will sort out bullying quickly if it happens. Pupils learn every week how to be responsible and safe from the school's puppet, 'Safety Mouse'. This leads to a harmonious and caring school community. Staff know pupils very well. They treat every pupil as an individual in this school. Leaders have high expectations of all pupils. They make sure all pupils achieve well. Pupils work hard and they want to learn. Parents and carers are very happy with what the school offers their children. Typical comments from many parents refer to the school as a family. One parent said, 'Being a family is not just a motto to Reepham, they live and breathe it.'

What the school should improve

  • Leaders have not ensured that, in all subjects, the curriculum precisely identifies all of the important knowledge pupils need to know. As a result, in these subjects, pupils' knowledge and skills are not building as securely as they might. Leaders should ensure that, in all subjects, it is clear exactly what pupils should know and be able to do.
  • Governors do not always hold leaders to account as rigorously as they could. As a result, not all aspects of the school's provision are of the highest quality. Governors need to assure themselves that they have rigorous structures and processes in place to assess the quality of all aspects of the school's provision effectively.
