What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 October 2023
Sherington Primary School is a vibrant community that is full of singing, music, art and sculpture. Pupils said they enjoy coming to school and feel safe. They particularly value the many wider opportunities, including an exciting residential trip to Wales in Year 6, where they learn outdoor rock climbing. All pupils are held to high standards of behaviour. The school teaches them how to understand emotions. They also learn how to make friends, manage conflict, and how to persist when learning is difficult. As a result, pupils behave well around the school and in lessons, and they concentrate on their learning. The school's ambitious curriculum is rooted in its immediate context. Pupils learn about historic Greenwich and the many significant events that took place in the local area. The curriculum brings the school's values to life by including excellent opportunities for pupils' cultural development. The school has high expectations for all pupils' learning, which are mostly realised. Pupils said that if they are worried about anything, they know what to do. They explained that everyone is treated with respect, and bullying is not a problem. Any issues are resolved effectively by staff.
What the school should improve
- On occasion, support for pupils with SEND in class is not as effective as it needs to be. It does not help pupils with SEND to build precisely on what they already know. As a result, in some cases, pupils do not securely understand what they have been taught. The school must ensure that all staff have the further training they need to consistently meet the specific needs of pupils with SEND.
