What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 January 2025
Children get off to the very best start at this welcoming village school. They flourish in the exceptional early years provision, excelling in its nurturing and stimulating environment. Reception Year staff make the most of every moment, consolidating and extending children's understanding through high-quality talk. Pupils achieve well at Repton. The school's ambition for every pupil is typified by its ethos of respect, pride and success. These three core values are woven through the school. Pupils display them through their interactions and in their work. They show respect for people's differences. Pupils know that the protected characteristics are important as they help us make sure that no one is discriminated against. There are warm relationships between pupils and staff. Pupils feel valued, safe and secure. They are cheerful and polite. Pupils behave well in lessons and during social times. Classrooms are calm places. Pupils focus and listen well most of the time. A plethora of high-quality enrichment opportunities and extra-curricular activities are available to develop pupils' talents and interests. These include learning to play a wide range of instruments and frequent occasions to perform on stage. Pupils also engage with an extensive variety of sporting clubs and competitions and a host of residential stays.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of foundation subjects, some pupils do not remember key curriculum content securely. Consequently, they cannot build on their prior learning and deepen their understanding. The school should refine its approach to the retention of important learning so that pupils gain a rich body of subject curriculum knowledge.
- Writing tasks are occasionally too demanding for some pupils. This prevents some pupils from mastering the basics of spelling, handwriting and sentence formation as quickly as they could. The school should ensure that pupils have secure knowledge and skills in transcription so they can access more complex writing tasks.
