Seer Green Church of England School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 21 March 2023

Pupils get a great deal at Seer Green. They are incredibly happy and love attending school. It is impressive how articulate and thoughtful the pupils are. Academically, they thrive. Many pupils leave Year 6 attaining very highly. Leaders set high academic expectations from the moment children begin in early years. There is a friendly atmosphere wherever you go. Pupils eagerly greet visitors and want to show how proud they are of their school. Playtimes are joyful. Older pupils love mixing with their younger counterparts and being active in the outdoor environment. Bullying is not an issue because pupils say they will not let it happen. Pupils adamantly say they feel safe and that their friends are kind. There is much on offer for pupils. Music is promoted, with many pupils learning a musical instrument or singing in the school choirs. Leaders ensure that all pupils have an opportunity to represent the school in sport. Pupils relish the range of school trips they can go on. Pupils see the forest school sessions as another highlight. Community is so important to the school. Pupils help others in need and enthusiastically join in with local events. This includes hosting the village's longstanding 'Cherry Pie Fair'.

What the school should improve

• In some subjects, component knowledge is not as well defined in some units of work. At times, the activity choices do not closely match the knowledge leaders want pupils to acquire. Leaders need to build on the strongest practice in the curriculum to ensure that, across all subjects, knowledge is identified and coherently sequenced.
